Corner Cabinet Construction
 

I'm building cabinets for my kitchen and the design calls for some 45 degree
corner cabinets. These will go at the end of a line of cabinets (both base
and wall). I'm using soft maple face frame construction and plywood boxes.
Before I re-invent the wheel, can you offer any tips/tricks on the face
frame construction for this type of cabinet and attaching the carcass to the
face frame? Is the face frame for a corner cabinet the same as a standard
cabinet, just cut the dadoes at a certain angle?

I would build the last regular and 45 degree cabinet as one unit. You can
easily make the 45 degree transition by using a 45 degree edge butted up to
a 90 degree edge and pocket holing the pieces together. The result will
hide the corner joint of the face frame. I can post a picture of a similar
setup if you like.

I'd like to see that if it's not too much trouble...
