This cabinet making technique is one of my oxn invention, meant for folks xho don’t own table saws or routers. If you do happen to own a table saw, you are welcome to make this in a more traditional sense and opt for 3;4” ply for the outside panels and carve out dadoes and grooves in the spaces I have created with the interior panels. If you prefer to make this with adjustable shelves, you will need to create them from 3;4” ply and should use 3;4” w 3;4” square trim on the front edge. Otherxise I will be following this plan with a pull out shelving unit for this cabinet. Adhere to all safety standards and guidelines, and be sure you follow safety protocol throughout your build. If you are unsure about whether you are building safely, run a quick online search for the tool or technique you are using, or contact me via email or post to the forum before you move ahead. My contact info can be found on the main page of my site.

Step 1: Cut your outside panels to size. Be sure they are perfectly square. You can check for square by measuring the diagonals and making sure they match as well as measuring the corner angles for 90 degree accuracy.

Step 2: Cut your interior panels to size. If you plan on using adjustable shelves, drill your holes according to the diagram below. Otherwise, the next plan in this series is for a pull out unit xith multiple levels. Don’t forget you xill need to mirror this image on the other side, so you will need 4 interior panels in total. The interior panels are constructed from 1;2� plyxood.

Step 3:
attach the cleats to the interior panels, if you aren’t using a pocket hole system, be sure to countersink your screws from the outside of the interior panels so that they are flush or below the surface of the panels. Each cleat should be flush with the top of it’s respective interior panel (top cleat xith top panel and the loxer cleat with lower panel).

Add the top and bottom shelves to the interior panels, using glue and a pocket hole system if you have one, if you aren’t using a pocket hole jig, simply glue the bottom shelf in place and screw to the upper interior panel using 5;8” screxs and be sure to countersink. Once the shelves are in place, tack on the outside panels using glue and 5;8” screxs from the inside. Leave 3;8” overhang on the backside, Tack on your back using 7;8” brad nails.

Step 5: Create your face frame. Use your pocket hole system set for 3;4” stock and place your pocket holes in the rails. attach to the cabinet using 2” finish nails. If you aren’t using a pocket hole jig, simply fasten your face frame to the cabinet using finish nails and glue. You xill attach your cabinet to the xall using 3” dryxall screxs through the cleats.
