1

Tack the cabinet box together quickly with a brad nailer. Then add screws for rock-solid corners. Glue the sill nose to the sill before assembling the cabinet.

2

Add casing to the box using as few nails as possible. Three nails will hold the casing tight while the glue dries.

3

Cut the crown molding using a simple homemade jig. The jig holds the crown upside down as you make the cuts.

4

Glue the crown corners together without nails or clamps. Just hold each return tightly in place for about 60 seconds. Set the completed crown aside for 20 minutes, then attach it to the cabinet.
