To all,
When constructing furniture/kitchen grade lower cabinets, do you prefer to use full side panels and cut out the recess for the toe kick (e.g. the side panels are a full 34.5" tall), or do you create a 4" frame you set and level on the floor and then attach the boxes to? Just wondering since I can see pluses and minuses for doing it either way. I've seen books/videos that use either method and looking for some insights from people with more experience. If you do the floor frame, how do you attach the boxes on top of it without any unsightly fasteners?
Also, the first set of cabinets I'd like to do is in the garage to create the workshop. For a garage, I'm thinking that plastic and tar paper on the floor, then pressure treated 'frame' set on top to prevent any water/moisture issues.
Thanks for any advice,
Bob
