I've started building the base cabinet for SWMBO's kitchen bookcase project.

The base cabinet will be 33" wide by 32" tall, with an ~50€� book case on top. I'm using 3/4"
(nominal) Poplar plywood for the cabinet boxes and book cases. The base cabinet doors will be
shaker style overlay doors, like these (just doors, no drawers)

I've been reading about face frame widths and 2" seems to be a common size. I know nothing
about the Euro style concealed hinges, but I assume that I need to factor them into the face
frame and door design. The plan was to use 3/4" (actual) poplar for the face frames and doors.
Everything will eventually be painted.

I'm looking for advice, sources, steps, etc. regarding the hinges and face frames. This is one of
those "I don't know what I don't know" situations.

Thanks for any and all input.


Not to compete with the good advice you will get here but
the Lee Valley product descriptions often include an "Instr" link
with some good details.

Just a FYI, I agree with your example above, the Lee Valley link...
BUT the link provided, where I normally buy that referenced hinge, is
1/4th the price of the Lee Valley hinges.

At the moment about $2.25 per pair vs. $10.60 at Lee Valley in
quantities of 50 hinges.

Just in case you have been buying those hinges from LV.
