Mitered Cabinet

[John J. Desmond]

I am trying to figure out how to place three face frames on this cabinet. Do I have to use display boards and create the side frames? If it is not to difficult, how do you miter the frames at 22.5'' for presentation as well as to get a frame that is wide enough so all I have to do is miter the stile and have the frame the correct width?

Hey John, here's one made from a standard corner cab and a standard upper framed. I started with the corner cab and removed the sides. Then using the measurement dialog determined the width of frame I needed. I then brought in a standard upper framed, set the width to the measurement I needed (12"), removed all the parts except the face frame, copied and pasted a second FF. Then hilited and rotated them to the required angle. I then placed them using the Align Items dialog. Finally, I hilited the angled cab and went to the face frame editor and added 1/4" scribe to the stiles, that way the FF would meet in the corner. HTH

Hi John, you need to save it to disc. My computer defaults to desktop, so from there I right click on start menu>program files>Thermwood>eCabinet Systems>assemblies. If you haven't got a file other than Standard then right click>New and start a new folder. I have one for downloads I call it Downloads . From there just drag and drop, or copy -paste the file in, close everything, then open eCabs and load the assembly.

I followed the directions and I go to programs and put the file in assemblies, it shows up but I can't find it in assemblies when I right click install item.
When I go back to programs/ thermwood/assemblies it is there and looks like a sheet of paper wiht the top right corner folded. I've shearched the forms but still haven't figured out what I am doing wrong.
