Hello
Going to be putting in an upper corner cabinet next week in my basement, standard depth 12 inches by 30 inches in height with that good ole' 45 degree angle on the front.
I want the soffit to come out to 15 1/2 inches in depth on the straight part to accommodate for molding, but I'm wondering (without installing the corner cabinet first) if the best way is to make a template of the shape so that I can add on the 3 1/2 inches evenly in front of the angled part so that things look symmetric? Is there a trick to figure that out how to build the soffit with 2 by 4's for that corner cabinet, put on the drywall on, then install the upper cabinet with good results? Or again, is it just templating with cardboard off the shape of the cabinet and adding on for the molding?
Thank you!
David
