Shop cabinet build

Your wall side stile should be made 1 1/2 to 2" wider. Back cut it so that the part that hangs off the cabinet is only 1/2 to 3/8 thick this makes it easy to run down the wall with a trim router. Most walls are off by quite abit.

For the wall side that you did not make a built in scribe you would add a scribe with a long grain joint screwed, hiding the screws behind the hinges.

So the wall is the guide? Now that it's in my brain it seems so obvious. Thanks.

Hmmm...I thought that you push the cabinet close to the wall and put the router on the face. Then run it down with the edge of the plate against the wall. No? Am I totally confused?

Sort of you pull the cabinet away from the wall needed for your scribe base. Most installers use a offset base or a quick scribe. For quick scribe on a pc router its 1".
