Corner Cab project - all done!

That is going to be a very nice corner cabinet. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product…

It looks great. I will keep an eye out for the finished pictures.

I’ve been on the fence about getting the Jessem slider. It sounds like your real happy with it. I’ll have to give it some more serious thought.

and what happens if you don’t cut it upside down?

Nicky, looks good, can’t wait to see the finished product. I noticed the top on the lower unit is solid wood. Are all the tops and bottoms solid wood? If so, how did you allow for dimensional changes due to humidity changes? I can’t tell from the pictures, are the cabinet sides solid wood also?

Debbie, if you dont cut it upside down, none of the compound joints work out and you get really frustrated. What they mean by “cutting it upside down” is that you visualize the horizontal surface of the saw as being the ceiling and the saw fence is visualized as the wall. Make sense? There are some “wordy” jocks out there that can probably say this more elequently.

I think I get it.
“flip the vision”

I love cabinet work. Those are some really good looking ones. I am looking forward to the finished product.

I wish that I understood “flip the vision” before I made my first cut, but no harm done. Duane, I do believe that you have captured the process with a good analogy.

I cut most of the ply using a JessEm slider. I would have done most of the cuts with a circular saw (marking angle cuts, clamping a straight edge etc…) The slide was a real time saver. If you do decide on one, do the adjustment procedure multiple times, as one adjustment has an impact on others. The installation of the slider took about 30 mins, then about 4 hours to fine tune, going through the adjustment procedure several times until I got perfect results.

The top of the lower unit is all solid material. Jointed sides and edge glued with biscuits. It’s attached using oversized holes with large washers to allow for seasonal movement.

I cut exterior trim and siding so I understand about flipping the vision.

Waiting for the finish.
