Carcasses

Yes, that's the technical term for those boxes you put all your stuff in. i.e. one carcass + one face frame = one cabinet. Maybe you pronounce it "car-case"? Either way we now have three carcasses completed. We have a very steamlined process:

1. Layout the cuts for minimizing wasted plywood.
2. Make cuts so that all equal dimensions are cut at one time without moving the saw fence.
3. Drill shelf pin holes in the side pieces.
4. Drill pocket-holes everywhere!
5. Assemble.

And that's it! Here's August, first with the pocket-hole jig and then assembling. Note our use of the blue-handled Kreg clamps - overpriced but really really nice.


And myself doing the Barker Beauty pose with our three completed boxes. The one on the left has no top because its the sink base. The other two sit on either side of the oven. You can also see our plastic dust barrier that is thumb-tacked to the ceiling.
