<p>Thank you . I was worried about the glue not adhering the cut endgrain with the prefinished maple plywood on the butt joint. The kreg pocket screws appear to be pretty strong, I will definitely take photos and post them. I have to with all of your help!</p>

I use titebond original exclusively through out the construction. It is a good glue that will set with a good bond and has a reasonable open time. When doing butt joints I suggest putting a good heavy coat on the open grain end grains and let it set for a few minutes and then just before assembly apply another coat. That allows the glue to soak into the end grain and gives you a much better bond with the long grains. Be sure to post some photos of your project and it is good to photo it during construction as it gives you a nice record of the build. I know I would like to see some when you can post some.</p>

<p>Thank you Jay but I should have been more specific, the inside of the cabinet will be finished maple and not painted. I thought about applying the face frame and just taping and covering what I do not want painted, but then it would probably be easier to spray them before applying them to the carcase. </p>

<p>Thank you for your comments. As usual I pick the most difficult way of making something. I was planning on 24 inch lower cabinets, 12 inch upper cabinets. The Shaker style doors and drawers would be inset. I thought the European hinges would make it easier for fitting. Also, the 4 inch base would be separate. Is it better to paint the frames before attaching them? I plan on spraying them.</p>
