Hi Chris,

Just looked at your videos, great!

One quick question.

After setting your base cabinets on the ladder frame, how do you deal with the space left between the bottom of the cabinet and the ladder frame, I estimate this may be about 1 1/2"?

@ganesh2935 I'm really not sure what you're asking... the gables (sides) of the base cabinets sit on the ladder frames. The decks (bottoms) of the cabinets need not sit on the ladders. If I were to install cabinets w/out a ladder, the gables would just be extended an extra 3 1/2" to sit on the floor. I use a ladder frame because I can get two extra base gables out of a sheet of plywood.

@farmerrey I am asking about the space 1 1/2" between the deck (bottom) of the cabinet and the top of the ladder frame front (toe kick). I understand that the sides sit on the latter frame hence the space I am asking about? Do you seal up that space or just ignore it?

[farmerrey]

@ganesh2935 I don't do anything w/ that space. The only way it would ever be seen is if a 3" tall man looked under the base cabinets. The kicks cover the ladders, and that's the most important thing.

@farmerrey

Chris,

first I want to say that I learned a lot from your videos. You showed in detailed manner.

Second, Thanks for putting your knowledge on videos, so beginners like me can make a good job.

Finally, do you have any videos in How to make Cabinets Doors using Trims or Mouldings?

I am updating my Kitchen Cabinets by Re-Facing them.

I am never did this before and so far the cabinets structure are still strong but the Doors are outdated.

Thanks for your time

@farmerrey I understand but I am thinking that space may create easy acess for cockroaches etc. to thrive and flourish within the area of the ladder frame. That's the only reason I asked.

You forgot to calibrate the stud finder against your chest. I always do that prior to use to make sure it still works.

Thanks for the info. I just bought a shop across the street from yours, hired 15 illegals, and plan to build a product that looks similar and sell it for half as much.
