[QUOTE="AcadDude, post: 281044, member: 7404"] Next up is to make a platform to set the backglass cabinet onto. I took the scrap wedge pieces I had from cutting the sides. They will have the exact slope I need. Then I found a spot where it was 2 1/4" tall and then measured back 9". My backglass cabinet has a frontplate that drops down 2 1/8" inch. I am putting an 1/8" aluminum angle under that so I added enough to make it all fit. After attaching the two scrap wedge pieces using 3" screws in the front and 2" screws in the back I then attached a scrap piece along the back 2x2 frame. It was 1 1/8" tall to fill the gap. This will give me three sides all on the same level. This is a good stable base for the backglass cabinet.
