This is not actually the first one he did, but I didn't get a before picture before he started. But all four of the lower cabinets have two doors into it, but the center part was in the way to put one drawer across the whole space. So first that had to be cut out.
He first attached the right door to the center board with a corner piece and then made a straight cut at the top and bottom of the center board to cut it out. We couldn't just get rid of the center piece because there would have been a gap between the doors then. So this was his best solution. Works for me! :) He also had to raise the side support up to get over the lip on the edge of the cabinet.
Here's a close up of the corner strip on the door.
The doors closed.
Now I have two full size shelves/drawers that pull out. I am so excited about this! :) Let me tell you!! I had to get the 9x13 out this morning and instead of getting down on my hands and knees, move the front stuff out of the way and "wrangle" it out of the back corner, I just pulled out the drawer, lifted the stack, got the one I wanted and pushed the drawer back in. Ahh the simple things in life!
Waiting on some more wood and time for the next set to be built. Only 3 more cabinets to go...
Thanks, Les!

Looks good and oh, do I understand the "wrangle" part! I do have drawers in the lower half of the cabinets...but the corner cabinet is impossible. However it sure does hold a lot of stuff! Nice going, Les!
