Hi-
I'm building a basic wall cabinet using face frame construction and I need a sanity check. I just completed the box/shell and I am totally confused. Obviously, I want it to be square, so I take time and make several checks.
I measure diagonally and the measurement less than 1/64 of being dead on---I can live with that.
I put my square (confirmed square btw) on each of the outside corners. Corner 1, 2, and 3 are dead n**ts on. Corner 4 is about 1/8 off.
I put my square on the inside corners, exact same story.
I measure diagonals and again, less than 1/64 by the tape, both directions.
So, is it square or not? If so, what's driving the weird 4th corner reading? Common sense tells me it's impossible for 3 corners to be square and the 4th way out of whack.
Would this bother you? It's driving me nuts and frankly this kind of thing is why I walked away from wood for about 2 years.
Thanks for the vent.
