Step by step guide
Preparation
I slightly modified the design of the previous cabinet to create a butt with compartments. First, I milled all the grooves for the back panel. I milled the door handles at an angle.
Montage
- The cabinet is assembled with dowels and wood glue. The last step was hanging the doors and attaching the shelves. Tip: make a template for drilling the holes for the shelf supports.
Finish
- Everything is sanded, sealed, primed, and given two coats of paint. General tip: keep your design simple to minimize the chance of errors that you'll have to fix.
