Help on an angled cabinet.

Post by Ken Ferrig »

So far I have been able to work my way through most problems but now I am stuck or just missing something.

I am trying to make an angled cabinet for a built in in a finished attic space. I need the cabinet to angle from the back to the front to follow the contour of the ceiling. In other words the bottom of the 30” tall cabinet is 24” deep and the top is 0”. (Inset 24' from the back I suppose it would be.)

I can make an angled cabinet the insets one of its sides but not its top. I tried creating a standard angled cabinet and put in partitions instead of shelves with the intent of simply rotating the finished piece 90 deg but the partitions do not resize like the shelves do.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks much.

Have you tried a search on this? I seem to recall that this has been done and 'splained by someone here on the forum before. Could be wrong though!

I tried that. But for some reason the search keeps timing out and returning an error message for me.

I've run into that tonight also. If I run across it, I'll post it here.

Perfect. Now to make it work.
