One of the key ingredients to putting together some premium custom cabinets is good planning. You really want to consider you’re corners and what purpose those corners are going to serve for you. If your corners are going to connect to another set of custom cabinets then you want to leave the groove to face outwards so it can better link to the next set of custom cabinets. If they are going to go straight into a wall then you’ll want to make them flat. If your custom cabinets are going to leave space for a household utility like a stove or a dishwasher then you’ll want the groove to go inward so you don’t see any extra inner wood from the custom cabinets. However if you want your custom cabinets to connect to another set of custom cabinets then you will want to let them over lap one another. This allows you custom cabinets to look like one smooth cabinet and not separated custom cabinets. The only more complicated process you may have to go through while taking these steps is with the dishwasher because you want the dishwasher to have an overhang and a cabinet top. This a simple extra step that’s hard to mess up and you just put a thin sheet of plywood of the custom cabinets or you can just connect some two by fours from one side to the other in a triangular shape to give it extra strength. These are a part of simple planning that can make your life a whole lot easier when constructing your dream custom cabinets and make it look a lot nicer as well.

Right here in front of me is the doors to the custom cabinets. They’re both still joined together as a single panel. I’ve capped the top and the bottom of the custom cabinets door with thick hardwood banding. It seems very generous the way it is protruding. Sometimes when you cut this type of custom cabinets wood material it’ll warp unpredictably so I allow plenty of extra. I am not worried about that because I am going to trim it flush with this router jig to the custom cabinets. So I don’t really care if it hangs over a lot because it doesn’t affect the presentation of the custom cabinets. The way a router works is it has this one surface that will ride on the surface of the panel and in this channel the edge banding that touches with the custom cabinets will pass where it’s going to encounter the bit. The bid is level with the surface that touches with the custom cabinets so it makes a perfect flush router pathway for it to cut a professional grade incision into the custom cabinets. It’s going to blast off all of the edge banding and make it level with a bright surface. This third element of the jig is a fence that permits me to just ride smoothly with the custom cabinets throughout my whole project. So then I am ready to start making my cuts into my custom cabinets using my router. A router is a very necessary tool for all cabinet maker to have in this industry. Part of being successful in the business of cabinetry is sometimes having the proper equipment. Building custom cabinets is still an art that fewer have mastered but having the proper gear sure does help.
When the cabinet maker begins working on planning how he plans on tackling kitchen cabinets he has to take into account a certain number of things. Now, there is one of two ways to do it. The cabinet maker can either start with the frame and use the frame as an outline to help guide how the boxes are going to look around the frame, or he can choose to build each box then shape the frame later. The pros and cons to those separate strategies of building the custom cabinets are for the first one you have to make sure you stay lined up with your frame the whole time and it’s definitely a two man job when you have to hold the frame and glue then drill it together. For the second way, you cannot make any errors on you boxes. You have to make very accurate calculations. If they are not precise and any of the pieces are slightly diagonal then they won’t provide proper support and could fail soon after installation. It is also very common to make mistakes using this way so even though it make be more difficult to hold while drilling for the other technique it might be the safe way to go. The only reason a cabinet maker would usually use the second method is if they don’t have a strong able body to hold the frame up or there is just one of them completing the custom cabinets. One other reason might be is because they were only taught one way but an experienced cabinet maker knows how to do a few different methods just encase it is a custom job and you have to bend around your environment. For this example, I am going to just explain the first method I talked about because that is the most common and easier of the two if you ask me. First things first, you have to begin to cut your styles and rails for the frame. Because the styles are the outside of the framework you will want to cut those first then plan around them to make your measurements for the rails. When it comes to the styles whatever you do make sure the two going vertical are the same size on both sides and the other two that are perpendicular to the original styles cut also have to be the same length. Once you have cut all four of the styles go ahead and place them up against one another to form the frame work without attaching them together. The cabinet maker does this so he can get a visual of the layout. I usually get the measurement before I drill the styles into place. If you drill it into place first then you can’t adjust around errors. Some contractors might argue that you won’t get a true accurate length if it’s not drilled in because it shifts but if you drill in each side slowly one by one it won’t affect the alignment of the frame. If you ignore these steps the custom cabinets might have a tilt at the end of the project which can be a costly mistake in material.
