note with interest the manner in which you minimized the end grain
on the frame. I assume you are familiar with the continuation of
that joint in which one miters just the little tongues? Doing so to
the outboard side is easy, the inboard one less so because of the
care needed to limit the depth of the miter which is why I've never
done one. I just glue a thin strip over the whole shebang

Like this?

Yeah, like that, Mr. Smarty

How do you limit the one miter to PRECISELY the depth of the straight cut
out? Measure? One little difference in anything and you are screwed
Sneak up on it? Cut almost all the way & chisel/hand saw the rest? Do
tell...



This will be covered in my new $75 book. LOL I wish.


Take a look here, click to zoom in to the bottoms of the cabinets.
These are the bottom moldings on the fronts and sides of the cabinet
bottoms. I don't like for these type moldings to be shallower than door
and drawer fronts. So I simply make the sides longer to push the front
out enough so that it is proud of the fronts of the doors. Actually I
cut the sides a few inches too long and trim on the back square end.

Anyway what appears to be what you think you are seeing, ;~), is not
what you think you are seeing. You actually see 2 sides and 2 fronts
pieces. The flat ended spacer piece is an extra piece attached to the
back of the front. I made up a jig to hold the sides and front pieces
in place as they would fit. Then I cut that spacer to bit between
exactly between the side pieces. Before gluing the 2 front pieces
together I drilled picket holes on both ends of the spacer to hold the
joint closed. Then I attached it to the front piece while in the jig so
that it ended up precisely where it needed to be.
