holdfast Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) Picture 1 is cabinent without top Picture 2 is cabinent with top The purpose of this cabinent is to put it where the stove would go between the wall and Counter top. Im just putting a 2 burner stove on the counter top. Question is, I want to make it simple. @ Drawers that will be boxed in. No hinges. Now should I frame around the cabinent or just put a hinged door as is. Or double door it Frame it? Single door underneath the drawers or double doors? Im at this point and the easier the better, however this will be in my Trailer Kitchen when complete. Edited May 3, 2009 by holdfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdelongchamp Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 IS there any allowance regarding the overall width of the cabinet? Will it fit into the slot as is, and you have a space left either side? If not, use wood veneer to finish the front of the cabinet doors and use offset hinges to hang the doors. Do the same for the drawers area but finish the drawers european style. IF you have some room to play with, finish the carcass with approximately 3/4" stiles using stock pine. Then build the drawers with standard drawer fronts and you can mount the doors either european style or use the offset hinges. If you add stiles then it would be best to cut the stiles to the width of the drawer sides and narrower between the drawers. This is rather difficult to explain using words and no diagrams... Good luck with whatever you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) Plan your drawer frames to be smaller than the drawer face, flush drawers are difficult. In fact, drawers period are a pita. Take your time, draw it up first, measure twice, and good luck. BTW, how is the drawer support plate supported? If your drawers will hold silverware, then that sheet needs help.

holdfast Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) Ok I will double door it as pointed out because of opening space. I guess I will frame it including down the centre. What are stiles. Drawers are only going to hold cutlery I guess. Not sure but its not holding any Ha Ha Ha. Silverware. The Cabinent was measure to allow a half to one inch for allowance. The height is almost dead on even with the wheels. Edited May 3, 2009 by holdfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdfast Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thank you thank you. Dawg just figured out what I'm putting inside it. Good Ole Capt Crunch (CC Seagrams) or Southern Comfort.
