What are the Basic Parts of a Base Cabinet Carcass?

The caracss is the underlying structure of a cabinet. Like the studs of a wall in house construction. Typically the carcass consists of at least 5 parts. The way these parts are put together depends on the shop and style of cabinetry (european or traditional). The basic parts are the sides (2), the bottom (1), the back (1), and the some sort of top. The top of the base cabinet can consist of a stretcher or kicker, corner blocks, or an entire piece. The cabinet parts are usually made out of some short of sheet material: plywood, mdf, composite board, etc. The more expensive cabinets are made out of plywood with the most expensive using 3/4" thick veneer core plywood.

The parts can be assembled by simply screwing the parts together with butt joints, joining them with a plate joiner, dowels, or a rabbet. Usually the more expensive cabinets will be joined with rabbets.
