Category – Kitchen Face Frame Over $25K

Project Description – Cabinets are all face frame construction with 3/4” plywood decks, tops, partitions and finished ends. Unfinished ends, sub ends behind panelized ends, and backs are all 1/2” plywood. Face frame stock is cut to length on a Hitachi miter saw with a Tiger Stop fence, pocket holed on a Kreg pocket hole machine and assembled on a Kreg framing table. Panels are cut on a Felder format sliding table saw with a Tiger fence. Panels are pocket holed on a Kreg drill and are glued and screwed together after being dadoed.
Cabinets are sanded after being assembled so decks can be sanded flush to the face frames.
Cabinets are finished with a Kremlin 10-14 pump

Unusual Aspects – The upper tier of upper cabinets on each side of the sink are backed by a window allowing them to be lit with natural light during daylight hours.
The hood was fabricated and covered in brass in our shop and then aged on site by others.
