the hinge as a template to locate the screws in both the door and the case. Set the two side by side, reposition the hinge, and attach the door to the case. The hinge for both doors will need to be cut to length. A bi-metal blade at the band saw or a hacksaw would work equally well.
Torsion Top
I wanted to add support to the top unit of this project because of the amount of overhang that was needed to swing the second
door. I decided to use a torsion box design, building a stable box structure by adding ribs between the top and sub-top.
Mill the material for your top
to size, then rout a V2" roundover profile on the front and sides. Set the top in place on the cabinet and draw a line around the case top, defining its location on the top.
