The face frame is 2" wide, glued solidly, and has splines is strategic spots. I'm pretty certain something would break before it shifted back into proper alignment. But I'll certainly give it a nudge, just to be sure. -
Just to poke at the assumption - you got it out of square putting on the face frame, what makes you so sure you can't rack it back? -
First time i have purchased lumber online. I have been tempted many times but did not want to pay shipping. This time i couldn't travel to my normal (and good) sources. Ocooch was one of the few places that listed Padauk in the size i needed. i ordered two pieces. Delivery was reasonably quick, they were well packaged and the pieces were first rate and dimensioned as they had listed. Should the need arise i would definitely order from them again. Very pleased -

Well, I knew the glue-up didn't go smoothly, but I wasn't prepared for this. Somehow, the already-glued carcase was pulled out of square during my struggle to get the face frame pieces into place. I only noticed while I was measuring for the inset door frames. There is a strong 3/8" difference in the diagonals now, and no way is it going to rack back into shape. I'm considering my options for going forward. 1. Build the doors to fit the rhomboid openings. The scale of the case makes it all but impossible to see the corners aren't 90*. 2. Trim the face frame to produce a square opening for the doors. 3. Split the difference to avoid the frame pieces being too crooked at any one spot. 4. BBQ. Any suggestions from the collective? -
The PWs are great, and having several layers is super handy.
