Well guys, here it is. My first set of cabinets complete. A picture is worth a thousand words. They came out great, and I started today on my next set. I will say it is just a little more difficult than it looks, but all in all not bad for a chip of the block. Well the set I started today is oak stain grade, time to raise the bar. Enjoy the pics. By the way that is my brother in the picture not me.

great job on the kitchen. Did you paint the cabinets after installing them? (i see your other project they are mounted / unpainted) What kind of paint did you use?

Guys, I just wanted to go into alittle further detail about the cabinets. I was alitle rushed yesterday when I posted the project.
I built the carcass sides and shelves out of paint grade birch. The face frames were pine, ($1.00 a board foot what a deal). The frame of the doors are pine and the panel is MDF. I wanted to try the MDF because it is a low cost solution, and a time saver eliminating panel glue up. However; the sanding and painting of the MDF is a little more labor intensive than solid wood would have been. I used Blum Euro adjustable hinges and CompX slides. I ordered the internal hardware from woodworkers hardware on the internet. I found their prices to be she cheapest, if anybody can let me know where I could get the hardware cheaper, I am all ears.
I made a two piece crown for the uppers, it really dressed up the cabinets. My brother sprayed the cabinets on the wall with an airless sprayer using a varnish tip. He used one primer coat and one top coat. They came out superb.
I tell you what this was one of the most fullfilling projects I have ever done. Not bad for working out the garage, but I do want to tell you guys, the framing carpenters stood up all my shop walls yesterday, how exciting. The new job is going to be well appreciated, no more set up and tear down everyday, when mama calls for dinner time, I can shut the door and come back tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it.

Great looking case work!
You can try glue sizing on the MDF. It is just plain old carpenters glue diluted with water. I try to keep it at 8-10 parts of water to 1 part glue. Brush on and let dry. Lite sanding to knock the nibs off. Then off to priming coat. Be careful not to sand through the coat as the MDF will again become super absorbent.
This project is almost completely made out of MDF and I used glue sizing on it.

Hi Brandon,
I missed this post before.
You did an excellent job here.
I never would have guessed it was your first kitchen. Fifty maybe, but not one.
