   Trombec,

   There are several ways to do this. The flat molding can stack on top of the cabinet and project out past the faceframe a bit, or it can lap over the faceframe (unless you have full-overlay doors). I the first case, I put a 1x2" nailer back 1/4-3/8" from the faceframe. In the second case, the nailer is flush with the faceframe.

   --"Also, what do I do with that small edge sticking out on the upper cabinet where I make the outside turn."

   I usually notch for moldings with a pull-saw and a sharp chisel (unless the molding is so small that it looks like it was swallowed by the notch).

   Here is a pic of a more eloborate version of what you are doing...I hope you can see how the vertical molding is seated into the notch.

   I was up pretty late last night, and I'm draggin @ss this morning - but I just can't figure out what you mean when you say:

   --"Also, what do I do with that small edge sticking out on the upper cabinet where I make the outside turn."

   What small edge?

   He's talking about the face frame edge at the side of the cabinet, I think.JT
