Hey all! After a few months of lurking around this excellent forum I am making the leap to posting. I have been trying to find as much information as I can to all the steps of building my first cabinet. I feel like I am about 90% there, but I do have a few burning questions that I haven't quite found the answers to. Here is one that I am currently chewing on.
The cabinet design I am going with is the one popularized by
ChanceKJ. I also want to build the corresponding CP that
Jarrett designed. I downloaded the jpgs they provided for their builds, however I am not sure of the best way to get it from my computer to the wood. What is the preferred method? do I just get my straight edge, protractor, tape measure, and just draw it out the best I can? Or is there a way to print it out full size, glue it to the wood, and cut it out like a template? I believe there is a way to do the latter, but I am missing some of the details:
1. Is there a good tutorial somewhere for outlining the cabinet/cp design in Photoshop? I know enough in PS to be dangerous. Not sure what the simplest way to "outline" and existing image is. I love their templates but printing out the image full size WITH the cabinet art just isn't practical when an outline would do.
2. Once builders have their template printed out, what do they glue it to the wood with? Is there a preferred glue? Do they even use glue?
I am sure at some point I will have additional questions and I will be back here. Any pointers on these would be most appreciated!
Oh, and because I love this creepy emoji I will share it:
