Wow,

Thanks for the EXTREMELY fast responses. I see your point. Another words the
cabinets are ONLY mounted directly to the wall studs and not to each other?
I guess everyon ehas their own technique in doing things. Guess I gotta keep
reading.

Thanks again,

Patrick

Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of designing my own kitchen cabinets using Udo
Schmidts' technique. One thing that has me stumped it that when building
the face frame...It has to be the exact measurement of the cabinet itself
(36" x 24" x 3/4"). That's fine. What I noticed on page 44 of his book
"Building Kitchen Cabinets". He mentions that, "At each side of the
cabinet, the face frame extends 1/4" beyond the outside face of the side."
Also, when I look at the cut list he made(page 87), the floor panel is 23"
x 34" x 3/4". Basically, why do you need the 1/4" on each side? Doesn't
that leave a 1/2" gap when I butt up the cabinets together? Should I just
disregard the 1/4" and make the floor panel 34 1/2" wide? Or is there a
purpose to this 1/4" extension?

Thanks,

Patrick
