DT,
I assume this post was intended to me.  Your cabin top and walkaround should be cored with 3/4" end-grain balsa, but might be 1/2"  Are these what your cabinets will resemble?  Walk-Around Cabinets.  This is a set on a 37 Stamas.

DT,
Some tips that I saw the Stamas carpenters use.  1)  When you get the cabinets fit, jack them up to fit them in place with bottle jacks at each end to support and hold in place.  2)  Locate where you will be screwing through the tops of the cabinets into the coring of your walkaround.  Mark the location with a light pencil line.  3)  Remove the cabinets and pre-drill clearance holes (3/16" for #10 screws) and countersink for Ovalheads.  4)  Re-locate, secure in place, pre-drill the walkaround, secure, and your good to go.  Just make sure you don't tweak the frames, or the doors and ESPECIALLY the drawers will bind like a SOB.  But you already knew that, didn't you?

I have used that setup before it works very well another set up is to use 2 pieces of wood furring cut slightly longer then the height and wedge from opposite directions to prevent slipping. Thanks for the heads up. :bounce:
