Stick built/frame cabinets
Hi there,
I have searched this forum to try and find some how-tos on those that have built their cabinets using the stick frame method and have not turned up anything. I have found plenty of people who have claimed to have done it or have posted a pic here or there. Any chance someone may have some links to a build?
Best!

I did that and it looks like it just means cabs that have been built on-site. Not specific to the stick built method. Is there an industry term for stick built?

Accuracy is paramount for cabinet makers and their resulting cabinets. I would suggest this is the reason for the methods used. A small error when translated to a 3D surface 3-4' away would cause the cabinet to be difficult to use.
I would stick with the commonly used methods and downsize the material thickness if there is a need to reduce weight. I was able to load a 24X96" cabinet through the AS door.

Buy yourself a Kreg Tool.
I have been around since the era of dowels, then biscuits for joinery.
The Kreg Tool is by far the best method I have used.
IMHO

Site, stick, in-place, face-frame… Gables or carcass, whether it's vernacular, dialect, colloquial… I don't know. SE Michigan is “site”, what California, Texas, Colorado, Florida calls it could be different.
Airstream builds modules off-site and brings them in through the front door. You'll probably get a better result asking a cabinetmaking forum than Airforum, where it's more about F 250 diesels dominating mountain passes.
You can rivet a ledger onto the wall, and build it out however you like using dowels, pocket screws(Kreg), dominoes, biscuits, mortise, tenon, cleats, brackets, box-joins, dovetails, pegs…
Many have scratch-built fine cabinetry in Airstreams. I doubt that any two are the same. There isn't a single answer.
My cabinets don't follow any particular rule of construction. I modeled them after an old Stickley desk I admired. I have a knee-hole rather than a toe-kick under the sink. I don't know if it's stick-built… I did build them off a ledger, on-site.
Have you asked a cabinet-making forum?

Pygmypoacher, Very nice work. That is the same construction method I used to convert our rear queen bed to twin beds. Much lighter and more storage space.

I built mine based on other people's pictures I liked and copied thier designs - at least how I viewed them.
