400 Screws later

No kidding, 400 screws and a quart of glue used to assemble just the cases.  Many more will be used on the face frames.


Trimming the back corner of the two upper corner cabinets.

I now know why cabinet makers use 1/2" ply or particle board and assemble cases using just nail guns.  It took me all day today to assemble these (most likely over built) cases.  But since all joints are dadoed, glued and screwed together the case squares itself during assemble.  It also makes for a seriously strong cabinet, but they are freaking heavy.
