Angled Cabinet

Post by John J. Desmond »

I am needing help puting an angle on a cabinet. I am wanting to make a secretary with a flip down door for access to a computer. How do I do that?

you will have to take the cabinet sides (gables) one at a time into the parts editor and clip the sides to the angle that you desire. Then after doing that, you can bring in a door or what ever type of material you want to use for the flip down door and manually align it up with the cabinet on an angle. This one is going to be a little harder to explain.

Thanks Damon. I am working on that. I figured that that was the only way to do it. I am still trying to figure out how to do that. I am familiar with how to produce a door and add it. On the angle will take some learning. Thanks for the reply. I will try seaching the posts to find other information on it also. I am sure there is some.

Hey John...check out Al Navas' video on making a breadbox. I think it will have exactly what you are looking for on the angled sides and flipdown door.
