How we build Post Style Cabinets

Years ago, I began building what I call post-style cabinets — a hybrid design that combines features of traditional and frameless construction. Because there’s no face frame, my cabinets have the extra storage capacity associated with European frameless cabinets, but vertical “posts” make them adaptable to a range of styles, including more traditional American designs with frame-and-panel doors. The joinery is simple and fast and doesn’t require heavy equipment, so the technique is well-suited for building cabinetry on site. 

I wrote the above for a 2009 article in the Journal of Light Construction - a good trade journal for builders.

Our techniques for building continue to follow the ideas elaborated in my article. I recently discovered that that article, can be viewed on the journal's website: Journal of Light Construction 

Practical Cabinetmaking -- Build great-looking kitchens with these simple, efficient methods is the name of the article. Go ahead and take a look and ask questions in the comments or on the Sam Clark Design Facebook Page
