💬 Tips
Tip 1: Keep cabinet widths on standard module steps so fillers stay small and the run looks intentional.
Tip 2: Add wall fillers before final cuts so scribed panels do not steal from the planned cabinet opening.
Tip 3: Count shelves, dividers, and drawer fronts in the sheet estimate before you pick a sheet count.
Tip 4: Hold every reveal and overlay to one rule across the whole build for a clean front line.
Safety note Clamp every panel and verify sink, oven, wiring, and plumbing clearances before final cuts, drilling, or fastening.
