Raising Cabinets - Part 3
Step #3 - Making Face Frame Ceiling Supports
One of my favorite things I enjoy doing is woodworking with a couple of good friends! These two guys here have helped me out with a ton of projects in the past and always seem to be around right when I need an extra hand.
The next step in the cabinet build was quick and easy...well with these guys around. All we wanted to do was create some type of simple "L" shaped bracket to attach to the ceiling so that the oak face frame could later attach to the brackets (this will make sense later). All we did was take 2 long strips of left over plywood and connected them together into a long 90 degree "L" with a couple of screws and then crosscut it into smaller sections to attach to the ceiling. Another step closer!

This is Will and he offered to climb up and measure the distance above the boxes for me! Thanks Will!
So I then "offered" to let Will and JohnMark drill the pocket holes for me too... and they said "sure" ;-)
Making pocket holes with the Kreg K5. This tool is so worth the investment!
This is an left-over cut off of the "L" shaped brackets we were making to give you an idea of what we attached to the ceiling.
Will then offered to take the brackets and attach them to the ceiling for me. Alright! I love building with friends!
And we are finished attaching brackets to the ceiling! We are now ready for the boxes and face frame!
