I built these cabinets for a corner of my basement shop. They are made from big box store birch ply, Ash, black dyed ash veneer and gray dyed anigre veneer. The counter top is laminate. The doors and drawer fronts were the most time consuming. I used full extension slides on the drawers (amazon.com.) The reason for the door panels: I had the veneer on hand and wanted to gain some experience with my vacuum bag setup. I learned some things (I tried some plastic resin glue on one set of panels, and that wasn’t a good idea, I had a lot of bleed-through,) but mostly everything went well. I did the diamonds in the door fronts to tie the top and bottom cabinets together. I’m pretty happy with the results, and I can now start filling them up.
thanks for reading.

Alright, now I am jealous, your shop looks better than my kitchen! Nice job.
What glue did you end up using for the veneer?

That is one handsome shop. My neighbor gave me her old cheap kitchen cabinets and I still haven’t installed them.
Thanks for the great post.
