Burled Walnut Custom Cabinets Katy

The technique I use for constructing custom cabinets is sort of a combination of the two methods I talked about in my last article which is a really shallow dado which is really to just make a cosmetic joint and is not for strength. Then I use pocket joinery for the strength to pull the joint together which makes for strong custom cabinets. What that does is the shallow dado gives me alignment and conceals the joint and then the pocket screws do the work. Now the other part of that when making face-frame custom cabinets the face frame is going to give a lot of strength to hold the custom cabinets together and so is the plywood back. Over the years I’ve done several different things to guide my router when I’m making my cut for a dado but what I’ve settled on is a jig and this is a pretty straight forward jig. The edge of my router rides right here on the long side of the bored. The base and the distance was actually determined by the bit. So to make this jig for these custom cabinets is you would start with a piece of MDF or plywood. This may be a little bit wider and then the first time you run your router through it trims it so you’re going to have that exact cut. This makes it a more exact cut as well for all of your custom cabinets. The last good quality of these custom cabinets is the strength. This guides how fluent the story of the project goes. The cabinet maker has to sincerely take his or hers time to ensure the quality and progression of the outlook. If you look closely here on the sides of the vanity of this bathroom you'll see that the custom molding creates a very standard but outstanding look for the space provided.
