Hi Dave,I hear music in my head.
So Robert, if I read your drawing correctly, you would have 1" between the doors on the legs of the L and the diagonal door?( the dimension here would be 1" at the visible point of each door, that being from door corner to door corner and the outtermost points) Would that be 1" measured straight between doors (yes, it would probably show 1" either side of the diagonal door on the flat and a slight return toward the leg doors so as to create the 1" space between doors at the surface level) or 1/2" on each stile half? and I assume you'd let the diagonal door be what it will be (yes) for width?( "The rain is gone" ...I would make the distance between the doors on the legs 1" that is correct,
I thought about making the stiles on the diagonal portion a predetermined width but decided from a construction point of view that it would be easier to make the door parts some easy size and leave the two stiles to be ripped to the oddball width.( I agree with your thinking here, on the doors but not for the stiles and rails of the cabinet, but then we all do things differently. ) One process to do that on the face frame stiles but two on the door parts. (Ripping the panel and cross cutting the rails, well, if the door is of frame and panel construction.)
Hi Matt,Thanks for the file Dave.
I think I see what Robert is trying to achieve as far as balance for the eyes. But, I'm planning on building it in sections and hanging the corner section first, then the sides. To me, Robert's sketch would only work if I built the entire cabinet as one.
This thing will be built in my shop and then transported a few miles to the location. Besides the transportation problems of moving it as one cabinet versus sections, then the manuvering through the house to get it to location is problematic as well trying to hang the whole thing solo.
