Bryan, go back to the pic I posted 17 hours ago. That pic shows the upper cab and leaning against and in front of it is the dry fitted legs and rails ( no stiles) of the bottom section, and the panel is not in this yet so you can see thru it and see the stiles of the upper. So so far, there are no planed stiles in the lower section.
-
The base is wider by only 1”. Here is a pdf that I found. However, the wife only wanted plain side panels and the one bottom drawer.
-
That’s what I had in mind, especially after I have cut the legs and rails and the domino holes.
-
I think the confusion lies around my pic showing to two together. Here is the top part with a block under it, just to get it off the floor. And this will be the side of the bottom portion and it will receive a panel. The sides of the two panels will not line up vertically. If it looks two bad, I can always go back to the bottom one and glue in some stiles over the ply panel. Probably still confusing?
-
My concern is the width of the upper panel is not as wide as the bottom panel will be and their vertical lines will not line up. The upper panel is inset into the rails and stiles and therefore flush with the inside of the case. There is a 3/4” bottom on the upper that extends out 3/8” on the front and two sides and the will be a 3/4” top on the bottom section that extends out 3/8” further. This may break up the panels not being in alignment.
-
Yes, there will be a 1/2” ply insert. Not glued yet with dominos. My thinking is that the panels in the bottom end section are wider than the top section and won’t look right.
-
Apparently I didn’t think this thru entirely. Pictured is the end panel frame for the bottom section. Obviously the inset panels will not line up. Should I shorten the rails and add stiles to the legs, which will be tapered, to make the panels line up?
-
Insert the last pic posted and that’s bueno!

Hey Allen! Welcome to the forum!
-
Daniel, welcome to the forum. Hope to hear more from you.
-
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I forgot when I sent this that you have company.
-
Those “look charp man”! I went back to your dresser build to check out the jig for notching the legs. I couldn’t really tell from the pic but it looks like you cut two at a time?
-
Thanks. I need to get them ordered as I will need them before long.
-
Thanks. I hate to be a copycat but since I will be using the same slides on my armoire, it’s good to know. I thought they mounted to the dust frame. When you get a chance, will you measure the width/ height of that board?
-
Kev, are the two horizontal boards right above the dust frame there tp mount the under mount drawer slides to? And how did you mount the as I don’t see mortises?
-
Thanks. I was able to obtain a pdf drawing of this and realized they didn’t use crown molding but used a panel molding and I found this and adapted to it. The piece above the door was done on the router table.
-
10-4 on the M18! Chet’s recommendation and Coop’s money well spent! It’s a monster.
-
I added the face frame and the trim to the top. I still need to add 3/4” thick strips on all four sides of the bottom for it to sit on the drawer base. The drawer base will have similar strips on it’s top that will fit inside these strips to hold it in place to keep it aligned. Hope that makes sense as I’m describing it on the fly!
-
Oh, and on Rockler’s site, I typed in glides and it said no info found. Typed in slides and they popped up. Tomaters or tomatoes!
-
That kinda pisses me off. The contractor that built our add on, furnished cabs with under Blum mount slides that needed gap adjustments. He hired some yahoo to do the corrections and the A Hole removed the drawer fronts and over corrected the situation. Live and learn.
-
As these will be inset with false fronts, does that mean that the surrounding gap is adjustable?
-
Thanks bud! The BLUMOTION is what I was questioning. I have more jigs than the law allows so yeah, I’ll call on you for your expertise. I’m sure I can find a spec sheet on these if I get to that point of the build, prior to the slides arriving.
-
@Kev, can you send me a link to the Blum under mount slides that you use? It appears that they make more than one. I guess it depends on how difficult and how often I plan on using these but the template kit from Rockler is $70. Is this a good idea?
