I decided to use a countersink hole in the brace at an angle so that the screw would enter the receiving chair rail at 90 degrees, then screw it in with Kreg screws and it worked great. I've been eyeing those mini jigs, and I think I have to buy one. Thanks for your help.

At 1:10am on February 7, 2011, Jay Boutwell said…: David, Please refer to Justins page for the other diagram I sent him earlier. Hope you can read my measurments on the blocks., jay

At 1:08am on February 7, 2011, Jay Boutwell said…: I have figured the panel sizes for a standard 36" high cabinet providing you are using a 3/4 " thick top and a cabinet without the seperate toe kick under the cabinet box. If so adjust accordingly. Also the measurments I gave you in the earlier diagram are correct however please note that this is finish measurments and not allowing for a facevframe. If you are using 3/4" face frame deduct 3/4 " from the four red colored sections in the atached photo . It is confusing so measurement should be 22 1/2 " on the floor where it says 23 1/4 ". Then both end panels need to be 3/4 " less in width as you are adding the 3/4 " back in when adding the face frame. You will also need to adjust the floor to match the other cabinets. The one rear panel that is 36" wide in which ever one you have exposed to view after install. This allows you to hide the end grain of the two end panels.

At 4:20pm on February 6, 2011, Jay Boutwell said…: Hi David, I will draw up some detail diagram of a corner lazy susan cabinet tonight and will get it to you. I don't build from plans so never have one available. They are actually easy to build and are the best solution. I have never has a customer complainant. On my page I have a collection of hickory cabinets displayed. The one you see that is by the black double oven is a lazy susan corner cabinet with a wing door that opens outward and divides in the middle on salice 165 degree European Hinges that allow the door to fold in the middle and then up against the adjoining cabinets. Totally puts the door out of the way for easy cabinet access. It has a white two tray pie shape trays of which each tray is independently adjustable from the other and each tray spins either way and has a bearing to allow smooth operation and stops in the detent so the door will close without hitting the cabinet contents. Later, jay

Your comment made me chuckle. It never ceases to amaze me how people will buy that crappy furniture at the big boxes for more than they are willing to pay for custom work. I'm 60 this month and still working on figuring that out.

New Kreg 720Pro
