The time has finally come to assembly this monster of a cabinet. I’m talking about the Lazy Susan \/ Base Corner Cabinet. From the previous article, if you remember right, this cabinet is 36″x36″x34 1\/2″ in size. Since my shop is in my basement and I only have standard 32″ doors I cannot assemble it in there. If I did and believe you me, I would have to take it apart to get it out of there. Yes, I’ve made that mistake before with a large bookshelf cabinet I made. The combination of it being too long and too high would not allow me to get it up the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I’ll be assembling this cabinet in my dining room, which will be a staging area for our kitchen remodel anyway. To keep my air compressor noise down I’m just going to run the air hose up through my laundry chute and use it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I start by laying out all the components so I ensure I have them all. Once that is complete I start with attaching the side panels to the bottom shelf panel. I do this using Titebond II<\/a> glue along with 1 1\/2<\/a>“<\/a> crown staples<\/a> using my Bostitch 18 gauge stapler<\/a>. The glue providing the chemical bond and the staple providing the mechanical bond is plenty of strength to hold these together when complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I get both sides stapled on I flip the cabinet over so it’s bottom-up. From this point of view, I add the back 45-degree panel using glue <\/a>and pocket screws<\/a>. I could have stapled and glued this like I did the sides but since the back did not have a dado cut into it for the shelf to rest on I decided I wanted the pocket screws to provide extra verticle holding strength. I adjust the height using a spacer block cut the same height as the part of the sides below the shelf. This will provide the proper height needed for the back 45-degree panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
