That's very nice. Is it a sink base. If it is how long has J been using the dish pan?

Bathroom vanity and it went into a space that was empty for more than 26 years...

I got the job and it had to be done 2 months before I found out about it...

Stick that is some nice work man. Really clean and well done, look at those drawer reveals, perfect! Nice design too, it's splendid.

Looks good stick. To the best of my memory this is the first piece of your work I have ever seen you post.

Why no base?

Why no base?

bases are site built w/ the drops and cut offs... they also the get customization... step stools, security lockers, drawers, plumbing/HVAC chases and what ever else anybuddy can dream up....

installing and leveling the bases first is a lot easier than doing separate box set ups...

makes for some fast accurate installation.. just park the box..

my boxes upper and lower are up to 12' long and configured as the customer wants them...

saves assembly time and a serious quantity of material..

that cab is 74'' wide...

here's cabs w/ drawers and stools...

Stick, that is how I install floor cabinets too, I build the base using 2x4's and shim them at the floor to level. Then I secure the bases. Then I mount the cabs on the bases, and during the trimming phase I'll fit the toe-kicks in under the base cabinets with the 2x4 bases as the backing for the toe kicks, I love doing it that way.

That being said, if I can build a full width base cabinet I will, I don't like building standard 24" and 48" bases and install them in pieces, I'd rather fit the entire wall with one cabinet.

couple of years ago I did 127LF of uppers and lowers for a kitchen... WHEW...

long boxes sure saved the day...

the uppers are french cleated and the bottoms of the uppers have a rebated ledger...

the rebated ledger makes for some clean lines and really help on the back splash.. a second rebate is cut on the bottom edge of the the ledger and a fill strip is put back in... come tile time the filler is removed and tile goes up into the rebate... same for Mica...

the inners and outters...

Beautiful work Stick. No-one should complain about waiting for that! Thanks for sharing it with us.
