Hello to everyone, just got some quick questions i hope you can help me with. :oops:

The first question is, when scribeing frames to a wall do you use a jigsaw to remove the scribed material?

When leveling a frame of the floor do you use wedges, offcuts, etc?

When routering the edges of frame work do you do this once you have glued the frame together, or do you do this when you are trying a dry fit (no gue or clamps) with the frame work? All advice welcome.

1/ use a jigsaw and block plane
2/ I usually put adjustable cabinet feet on my units
3/ if its on the outside of the frame, like a small chamfer this is usually done once the frame is glued and sanded.
 
Cheers for your replys :D ,

I am making built in storage units floor to ceiling, and i will probally use stanley sliding doors, so i guess cabinet feet wont really look right.

I was thiking about routering the outside of the frames which i will do after the frames are glued, either a chamfer or a roundover (any suggestions).

I am going to post the plans on the design forum once i figure out how to get the images on my computer.

tender there is something to be said for adding some kind of wood detail to hide the floor join. if the gap is there, but not too big, then maybe a half round or similar section as if you were laying laminate flooring would be the way to go.

as for scribing is, put a slight angle on the inside so you have less material to remove.

Senior when you say adjustable cabinet feet, do you mean the ones kitchen fitters use? :?
Sometimes I use these, but often if the units are going to have skirting on and I think the floor is liable to movement, then I put on cabinet legs that can be adjusted from inside the unit.
