Building some kitchen cabinets now and looking to do some walnut for the doors. I’ve been meticulously planning and laying out dimensions to make sure I can get my runs on 1 continuous sheet to match the grain.
What are everyone’s thoughts of running grain horizontally? I’ll box out my fridge and that will require to run the side panels vertically but other than that I plan to run everything horizontally.
Using frameless cabinets, full overlay. I’d like to make the gaps between the doors and other cabinets as around 1/16 between doors of the same cabinet and 1/8 between different cabinets (1/16 for each edge)
If I’m using 3/4 inch material and using the chart in the bottom left I need to use H 9 for frameless, it tells me the max boring distance (which I believe will give me the biggest overlay) is only 9mm compared to the 19 or so that 3/4 of an inch is.
I was originally thinking, If my cabinet with 2 doors is 31 inches wide from outside edge to outside edge would I cut the doors to be 31/2 =15.5 inches per door. Followed by subtracting the 1/16 on the outside edge, minus 1/32 for the door gap (the other door with have minus 1/32 to make a total of 1/16 inch gap) and minus 1/16 for two pieces of iron on veneer (each piece of veneer is about 1/32)
So total is 15.5 - 1/16 - 1/32 - 1/16
Looking at the Blum guide makes me think the max full overlay I can have is 9mm or .354 inches.
