Corner cupboard going better

Bill Tindall, E.Tn.


The picture view is the bottom corner cupboard unit viewed with its face down and bottom toward the camera.

It seemed that the solution to my problem was to reduce the degrees of freedom the structure had when being glued. Last night I squared, temporarily braced and glued up the front frame. This morning, with the aid of gravity, which I was fighting with my failed approach, I glued the top , bottom and back in place. The structure was squared front to back and a piece of plywood nailed temporarily in place to hold the structure square until the glue set. I think I will nail on one board and bead side before I take the plywood off.

It would be nice to see how someone that knew what they were doing builds one of these things . But the adventure is "stimulating". I'll build the top half guided by what I learn building the bottom.
