   *Mack, what material are you using? I've seen some hardwood plys that have very attractive "B" sides,and we've one supplier who can give A-A in both 1/2 and 3/4.

   *I usually use a 3/4 or so applied end (edgeband the front edge), screwed from the inside. You can make the end flush with the front edge of the cabinet, or extend it 7/8" or so so it ends flush with the front of the door, your choice.I used to veneer the gable (hit and miss), and I've also used 1/4 material (still do when space is tight, but it's hard to edgeband). The full thickness applied end, or raised panel applied end, works well.

   *Glad you asked me that , Steve. You are the first to ask. Basically, E-Cabinetry is a new division of my company, and frankly, i think it is my road to the good life. The business model is copied from the high tech world: basically, style and hype over substance. There is nothing there, but people don't care. They just keep writing cheques. So how it works is, I will create, for a fee, your dream virtual kitchen (or entertainment unit, whatever. It's imaginary custom cabinetry, so what the hell). Stoke your fantasies, build your self esteem by cyberntically expoiting my European trained imaginary craftsmen, basically, I will DO WHAT IT TAKES to make my firm YOUR ultimate interactive cabinetry experience. All revenues will go towards my expensive tastes: thus, I will show no profits, or any reasonable expectations of profits, and investors will go wild. As I said, this model is tried and true, there's a cyber sucker hitting 'reload' every minute. E-Mail me NOW to begin the ultimate E_CABINETRY EXPERIENCE! And have your credit card ready.

   *Thanks Adrian, I'm going to copy that idea myself. I'm tired of working for a living.

   *If it's a stock cabinet [store bought] and is of face frame construction it probably has at least a 1/4" scribe/ear extending past the side of the cabinet. Dealers usually offer prefinished 1/4" plywood to match the cabinetry which can be glued and braded on, the scribe/ear hides the front edge of the plywood.If its frameless do as Adrian suggested, use edgebanded plywood or a raised panel door that matches the rest of your doors, screwed on from inside.If this is older existing cabinetry you will probably have to match the original finish.Chuck

   *Adrian, please advise as to where to send my check. Wish to get in on the ground floor of this IPO of yours. I do hope you decide to actually produce something, that way you can realize a loss on each sale which will propell your stock upward with each quarterly statement. How much should I send? Joe H
