Question Cabinet turn around an outside wall angle/corner

Sorry new here....so forgive me if I make no sense. I do not know how to post my plan picture!

I am trying to design a workspace where cabinets will wrap around an outside wall/90 degree angle. I would like 2 sinks to go on this corner as well. I can design in ikea planner with two 36 " sink bases perpendicular to each other......in order to keep the separate runs flush the base on the one wall will be extending ~ 24" past the wall. Can I do this? and secure the two cabinets together somehow where they meet, or will it be to wobbly/unstable?

Would also like the emsen sink to be in this corner, to have two sinks here......but not sure it will fit.......two separate sinks on each base is an option.

If this makes any sense to anyone, or if someone can direct me how to post the picture so it makes some sense I would be grateful!

Thanks in advance!

Re: Cabinet turn around an outside wall angle/corner

This is really no different than a freestanding island which many of us have. Once you have a countertop on there it pretty much can't move. That said, you could treat it like an island cabinet and either connect it to the floor (to be covered by the toekick), or use the mending plate trick that many here have used to gang cabinets back to back. In your case an L bracket inside the cabinets would work better. One leg is screwed to the sidewall of each of the carcasses so you'll have to cut a slot in the back of one and the side of the other for the bracket to go through...assuming the side of one carcass will be flush with the front of the other on the outside corner.

As far as the two sinks thing goes there's no reason I can think of that it won't work if you're willing to rearrange plumbing.
