As an added bonus, we had a heat wave with temps hitting 100 degrees for several days while I was working on these. And, hurricane season is here. Good thing these are made to transport, I’ll take them with me when we go on our next “hurrication.”

Great job!!

When you are on your next hurrication come through Dallas and I can put you to work in my garage. I don’t have anything near that well built.

Nice job, I wish I had taken that much care when I built my cabinets. Mine are just 3/8s plywood. Made them cheap with 2X2 frames.

Great looking cabinets. What kind of material did you use?

Thanks for the comments – I appreciate it. I used 3/4” birch plywood for the case and poplar for the rails and stiles. The shelves are birch plywood with poplar edge banding, and the backing is luan plywood. All purchased at a big box home improvement store.

I made the inner door stiles and top/bottom rails each 1/2 the width of the outer stiles and rails to match the overall dimensions. On the drawer case, I cut the left side door 3/8” too narrow. I remedied this by glueing a 3/8” length of poplar with a roundover bead on it. It actually looks pretty cool and I’ll use this on other work I plan on doing. Not my idea – read about in a design book.

My wife selected the color of the wipe on stain and she painted the shelves black with a poly topcoat. We’re thinking about putting poly on the exterior, but then again this is a garage.

Fine job overall : )
