A cabinet for under my terrarium. In addition to storing various reptile supplies, it also serves as a workstation for, among other things, the preparation of food animals. The terrarium is made of OSB, hence the choice to build the cabinet in the same style.

Storage cabinet under terrarium

I started with a sketch on paper. At TOSIZE.co.uk all dimensions of the required plates are entered. Ordered hinges, door handles, adjustable feet, etc. via meubelbeslagonline.nl. When everything was neatly inside, the top, bottom and sides were pre-drilled and screwed together. Installed extendable trash can and measured the shelves from there. Then screwed the shelf supports/slats into the sides and placed the shelves in the cabinet. Planks out again and the MDF boards nailed to the back. I had 1 shelf left (because the trash-can idea came about later) which I finally sawed in half and thus was able to realize two more compartments at the bottom right. Hinges marked, pre-drilled and the doors placed in the cupboard. Mounted magnetic closures and handles and put the cabinet in place under the terrarium. After a trip to the Praxis I bought two drawer guides to make an extendable worktop with the wood I had left and the cabinet was ready.
