Cabinet Frame Assembled

I had a few hours each day over the past two days to make some progress on our outdoor kitchen project.  My health was poor for a few days up until yesterday so work on the outdoor kitchen came to a standstill last week.  

After recovering from usual health problems (related to mast cell disease) and a couple of days of my TBI seriously bothering me again...  headaches, tingling and not thinking clearly...  I was able to go over my design of these cabinets.  I sketched some ideas...  did the math for dimensions...  sketched a bit more... did the math again...  and then did the math once more before cutting each piece.  I then began making all the cuts necessary to form all the parts yesterday afternoon.  On the positive side, all my math was correct which resulted in all the parts fitting together perfectly.

Here are the six legs for the cabinet base frame.  I inserted leveling feet into the bottom of each leg so I can keep this big "L shaped" base cabinet level...


Beginning to place the parts where they belong before assembly...


A closeup of one of the legs with a mating notch cut through it where it connects with other parts of the frame...



I started by assembling the frame for the ends of the "L" cabinets...


This morning, I assembled the entire base frame.  At this point, I'm out of lumber so I need another run up to the Burlington area...






This project is coming along but the weather is cooling down very quickly!  Cooler weather is great for my health but not so great for painting, staining and finishing.  I still have quite a bit of stuff to do that requires some "warm" weather.

Now I need to make another materials list so I can load up the car this evening...
