Beaded face frame kitchen cabinets

[festnoob]

Here is my most recent project. My church needed some cabinets to replace some metals ones that had been there since the early 40's (I think). I used prefinished maple ply 3/4., 1/2 inch for the back. Poplar for the frames and bead, which I mitered in. Poplar for the rails and stiles and 1/2 ultra light mdf for the inset doors. Soft close hardware all around.

I'll take some better pictures at the church...I installed them a few weeks ago

Looks awesome with the top on!

Question for ya...what hinges do you use and what did you use to stop the "non" hinge side of the doors from retracting in beyond the FF?

I only ask because it looks like they could use some minor adjustment to pull the doors in/out where they're not coplanar.

Please know that I'm not bashing or picking...just offering constructive criticism. Perhaps it's just camera angle too...cuz your work is really nice!

You're right...I have been meaning to add a stop behind a few of the center rails and hit the hinges with a screw driver for adjustment, but I've been lazy. Now I have to because you brought up and it's on my mind.

I used Blum soft close hinges. I make the inside o the cabinet flush with the face frame so there's a lot of options.
