Cabinets are complete. Fully assembled, wired, sanded, and flush all around.
The next step will be determined by whether I indeed end up using metal angle on the corners. I will be meeting soon with a friend who is a metal worker (and a fellow drummer). If it is determined that steel angle is a viable option, I will be able to proceed with the covering of the cabinets with the fabric. And I can also proceed with the cutting of the granite when I know the thickness of the metal (probably 1/8″). I will have the granite cut 1/4″ wider and 1/8″ taller than the cabinet to make it flush with the metal instead of the cabinet.
I am going to be laminating the granite slab to a sheet of 1/4″ aluminum before cutting. This will give it the extra strength to survive the lifting from the waterjet machine, and the in-shop transport and the polishing/roundover of the edges. I also think a little strip of polished aluminum might look quite sharp right behind the granite.
So, here are some pictures.
