Thanks. I need to look closely at the video to see how it works.

I haven’t built my own cabinets before, so I don’t know the best ways. Do you think dowel joints for fixed shelves and boxing are better than groove joints in 15mm material? Will groove joints make 15mm material weak? If I use dowel joints, I guess I have to cut the holes in the ends of the shelves by hand with a jig?

If dowel joints are better, then I won’t need the Halved Joint Division in my later post. I chose that because I thought the vertical division wasn’t thick enough to have grooves on both sides in the same location.

Hi

I’m using Halved Joint Divisions. In Kitchen_Wall_Centre_2, I’ve made the joint ok, but the problem I now have is adding other fixed shelves. I want to divide the areas on the right in two, adding two fixed shelves. But I don’t want the shelves to go the full width of the cabinet, just across the right hand sections, so they can’t be Halved Joint Divisions as well.

How can I add more fixed shelves after I’ve used a Half Joint Division?

I need to do the same in Kitchen_Integrated_2. This cabinet also has doors. I put a pair of doors across the whole cabinet, then surface split them to divide them up. Is that the way to do it?

Thanks

Stuart

Thanks. Your reply was very useful. I now realise I was organising my Project poorly. I’ve updated it and attached.

Can you explain to me, please, how to choose the right fixings? Is this set in the Manufacturing Method in PolyBoard? I think PolyBoard does much more than I really need. I’m using a CNC machine that does not cut into the sides of materials, only into the flat surface. I want shelves to be fixed, not floating or adjustable. Does my project use the right fixings? Really, I want the simplest option for kitchen cabinets. Cheap, easy to order, easy to CNC, and easy to assemble! They won’t be visible, so I don’t mind if shelf supports are not concealed, if that’s simpler.
