Popular Post JMAwoodworks Posted January 5, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I built this kitchen for a customer of mine. The cabinet boxes are1/2" maple I never use partial board. The doors are 13/16" poplar with 1/4" mdf center panel. The top cabinets are 42" I made all of the crown.They did the painting back splash and had someone do the counter top. They were very happy the way it turn out . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMAwoodworks Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 No I used 1/2 Maple plywood. I didn't paint them so I don't know sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Looks great! I would have thought that 1/2" ply would be too thin for a kitchen's requirements. Have you ever run into concerns with strength of the boxes or shelving? I am guessing not, judging by the quality of your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMAwoodworks Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I use 3/4 maple plywood for the shelf's I have built many cabinets boxes out of 1/2 maple plywood and never had a call back because of a problem I only get call backs for more cabinets. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabinets look fantastic! What kind of jounery do you use on the 1/2" boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMAwoodworks Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I pocket joint and glue the face frames then I dado the the top sides and the bottom. everything gets glued clamped and tacked. never had a problem. This is another one I did the same way. Like I said I have made a lot of cabinets this way. I just finished one to day I will post some picture once he install them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMAwoodworks Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well said. I too use solid 1/2" poplar for my drawers but I dove tail them they look better. This is a reface kitchen I did . I like doing them there fast just make doors and cover the face frames in veneer Take a look at my Facebook page JMAwoodworks there's a lot on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 You veneer the face frames in place? Seems like a hassle, would be curious to see any extra pictures of how you do that (if you have any handy). Thx for sharing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMAwoodworks Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I make all of the doors in the shop then I reface the cabinets face frames and sides the ones that show with PSA veneer in the customer home ,I use general finishes dye and water base top coat so there's no smell. That's the hole idea of reface you don't have to do anything to the counter top.stays in place.These are the before pictures.as you can see there's a huge difference. They replaced the back splash.

mat60 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I think a reface job can be a pain some times because of building and installing new draws in old cabinets. I do no some guys that also build with 1/2' ply and dont have any problem with it. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
