Hi,
Having been converted to using IKEA cabinets by this wonderful resource, my head is now swimming in information and questions. While mostly related to modifications, they are disparate, so I'll try to keep them organized. (I apologize for the outline format).
1. 36" Sink Bases
A. What are the actual width (inside and outside) dimensions for the 36" sink base? (Actually this would be very handy info for all of the components-does such a list exist?)
B. Can some of the odd little parts that come with certain cabinets be purchased separately?
e.g. metal horizontal brace in AK SDD 36 or the piece for attaching the false drawer fronts together in AK SD 36
C. For a variation on the under sink pullouts/drawers- can the drawer partition (##900.492.43) be piggy backed on itself to end up with two drawers on the bottom and then two pullouts above them?
2. Crown molding
We'll probably be doing custom crown molding using the nailing strip idea I saw posted elsewhere. I would like the molding to cover the seam where the nailing strip meets the cabinet. How much frame shows above the door on wall cabinets?
3. Rice storage
We have a rice bin that is 14" deep, 18" tall and 9" wide. There is an opening on the top for filling with rice so we were hoping for some kind of pullout solution. On the front is the drawer for taking rice which is 9" deep and must be removed from the bin to get the rice.Here's a

If we put the bin at the back of a pullout when we extend the drawer it will be 23" deep. I believe the pullouts aren't that deep.
Is there some kind of pullout that rotates so we could turn the bin when we pull it out and there by avoid hitting the door front?
Any other ideas?
I hate the idea of just putting the bin behind a hinged door and having all that wasted space behind and above it or conversely having to drag the bin out to fill it.
Thanks for any help and thanks for the great website.
