PARTS

  • A side frame pieces – (2) 5/4 X 6 X 28″
  • B bottom frame piece – (1) 5/4 X 4 3/4″ X 19″
  • C top frame piece – (1) 5/4 X 6 X 23″
  • D front strip – (1) 1″ X 23″ (cut from 5/4 X 6 cedar)
  • E back pieces – (4) (cut to fit from 1 x 6 T & G cedar)
  • F feet – (2) (see drawing) (cut from 5/4 X 6 cedar)
  • G door pieces – (2) 1 X 4 3/4″ X 23 7/8″
  • H door pieces – (2) 1 X 4 1/2″ X 23 7/8″
  • I door cleats – (4) 1 X 2″ X 8″
  • J door strip – (1) 1/4″ X 1″ X 23 7/8″

Pre-drill all screw locations with a #8 countersink bit and  sand the pieces before assembly.

  1. Referring to the diagram, cut the two side pieces,  the top and bottom pieces, and the feet to size. Glue and nail the front strip  to the top piece.
  2. Using a bench saw or router, cut a 1/2″ x 1/2″  rabbet along the back edges of the side, top and bottom pieces of the frame.  (Note that the rabbet on the side pieces only extends to the base of the bottom  frame piece.)
  3. Assemble the frame using 2-1/2″ deck screws and  exterior wood glue. Make all the pieces flush at the back and centre the top  piece on the sides of the frame. Using clamps will help in the assembly  process. Check to ensure that the frame is square. A temporary wood strap  fastened diagonally to the front of the frame will keep the unit square until  the back is installed.
  4. Cut and assemble 1 x 6 cedar boards for the back,  using 2″ galvanized finishing nails and glue. The temporary wood strap (step 3)  may now be removed.


Build the Doors

  1. Referring to the schematic diagram, cut the four  door pieces to size from 1 x 6 tongue and groove cedar.  Cut off the  tongue and groove from the inner and outer edges of each door.
  2. Fasten the two cleats to the back of each door,  using glue and 1″ #8 brass screws.
  3. With the cabinet on its back, install the two  doors, using two hinges per door.  Install  the cedar strip to the right side door, using  1″ finishing nails and glue.
  4. Install the barrel bolt, drilling a 1/4″ diameter  hole half an inch into the top frame piece to line up with the bolt.
  5. Attach the two wooden feet, using glue and 2″ deck  screws.  Initially insert one screw into each foot, set the cabinet on a  level surface, and using a level or carpenter’s square check to make sure the  unit is vertical.  Then secure with three more screws in each foot.
  6. Install the hooks and handle as shown.
  7. Finish with a natural UV resistant wood finish.

Step 1:

Cut the piece for the bottom, cutting the notches with a jigsaw. With the pocket hole jig set for 3/4″ material, drill pocket holes in each end of the bottom. Secure the bottom to the sides using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws. The back edge of the bottom will be flush with the back edge of the sides which will make the notched edge extend 3/4″ past the sides.

Step 2:

Cut the pieces for the back and the lower back support. Position the lower back support under the bottom securing the piece to the bottom and sides using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails. Drill pocket holes in the sides and lower edge of the back. Position on top of the bottom and secure in place using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws.

Step 3:

Cut the piece for the divider and cut the notch using a jigsaw. Drill pocket holes in the bottom and back edge. Position the divider as shown, then secure to the bottom and back using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws.

Step 4:

Cut the pieces for the stretchers and the framing. Cut notches in the framing pieces as shown (pay special attention to the dimensions of the pieces to make sure the correct ones are cut) using a jigsaw. Drill pocket holes in each end of the mid-front stretchers.

Secure the outer side framing to the sides using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails. The outside edges will be flush with the outside faces of the sides. Secure the center divider framing piece to the divider using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails, making sure the piece is centered. Attach the notched stretchers to the outer side framing and center divider framing using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails. Attach the mid-front stretchers to the outer side framing and center divider framing as shown using glue and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws.

Step 5:

Cut the pieces for the drawer spacers, securing to the sides and dividers using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails.

Step 6:

Cut the piece for the top. Position the piece so that the sides overhang by 1/2″ and the front overhangs by 3/4″. Secure in place using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails.

Step 7:

Cut the piece for the lower front trim. Draw lines for the curves as desired, maintaining the overall dimensions of the piece. Secure to the bottom and outer side framing using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails.

Step 8:

Cut the pieces for the drawer boxes. Drill pocket holes in all four edges of the bottom as well as each end of the sides. Assemble the drawer boxes as shown using glue and 1-1/4” pocket hole screws. Install the drawer slides according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions, locating them flush with the front edge of the side framing and center divider framing. Make any necessary adjustments. The smaller drawer boxes are the lower drawers – the larger drawer boxes are the upper drawers!

Step 9:

Cut the pieces for the upper drawer fronts. Using a router and a 3/8″ straight bit, cut a dado across each drawer front approximately 1/4″ deep. This will make it look as if there are two drawer fronts instead of one.

Step 10:

Cut the pieces for the remaining drawer fronts. Mark the position for the drawer pulls and drill the holes. The sides of each drawer front will overlap the opening by 1/2″. Starting with the lower drawer fronts, position the pieces so they are 1/2″ above the lower trim. Drive screws through the holes for the drawer pulls into the drawer box to temporarily hold the drawer front in place. Open the drawer, and secure the drawer front using countersunk 1-1/4” screws from the inside. Remove the screws from the holes for the drawer pull then finish drilling the holes. Install the drawer pull.

The middle drawer fronts will be positioned 1/4″ above the lower drawer fronts, and the upper drawer fronts will be positioned 1/4″ above the middle drawer fronts.

Finish as desired.

Mark the position for the drawer pulls and drill the holes. Shim the drawer front in the opening – there will be a 1/8” gap around all sides – then drive screws through the holes for the drawer pulls into the drawer box. Open the drawer, and secure the drawer front using countersunk 1-1/4” screws from the inside. Remove the screws from the holes for the drawer pull then finish drilling the holes. Install the drawer pull.
