Cabinet Carcasses

Project by Sacadelic posted 106 days ago 917 views 2 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

These are my cabinets and the way that they are going to be laid out in my shop. They are all made out of 3/4” Red Oak Plywood. I got this stuff at Menards for aobut $48 a sheet. It is rated B2 and is really nice looking and stabel stuff. I have found very few voids in it. It sands real nice and finishes nice as well. I took the basic design from Norm on NYW cabinet series. I just modified them to fit me a little better. They are 29 1/4” tall for a finished height of around 30 1/4”. I am going to use 3/4” MDF and 1/4” Hardboard for countertops. I will then trim it out with some Red Oak. I have three double wide units with two two drawer units and two with three drawers. The face frames are made out of 3/4” solid Red Oak. Again I finished with Tung Oil. I need to build my router table next so that I can build my doors and drawers. I think that I am going to make them all raised panel. We will see. Not bad for one of the first things that I have ever really built. And I will vouch that they are all identical and square to the 1/32”, except for one. Thats another story. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

You have a nice start on your shop. Seeing the cabinetry in your shop makes me want to seriously reconsider re-doing mine. When I built my cabinets I did not see an need to make them “pretty” since they were just shop furniture. But I have come to enjoy the appearance that furniture quality cabinetry gives to a shop.

Nice job.
