I'm currently in the slow process of making my own kitchen. The cabinet doors are lipped frame and raised panel type made from painted pine (local tradition). The frames are made from 13/16" (21 mm) stock and the panels are made from 9/16" (15 mm) stock. The panels are put in a rabbet and fixed to the frame using applied modling and brads (also local tradition).
My problem is that the frames are not flat. They twist slighty making a wedge shaped gap between the face-frame and the door. I hope the panels will straighten the frames when they are fixed in place. If they are not:
- How can I straighten my existing frames / doors?
- How do I make a flat door-frame?
I cut the frame members perfectly square and clamped them to a perfectly flat surface while the glue cured. The frame joints are made with double biscuits.
I hope somebody can help me out here. Thanks a lot from Oslo, Norway!
