Overall cost: $$$$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.
Drill pocket holes (as shown in the diagram) into the 15"x32" and 24"x32 cabinet sides", the 15"x38" and 24"x38" cabinet bottoms & shelves. Evenly space out your pocket holes (you can do 4 holes instead of 3 in the 24" sheets), and set the outside pocket holes at least 2 inches from the edge on the cabinet bottoms and shelves.
Drill two pocket holes in either end of all the securing strips and toe kicks (of any size).
Drill pocket holes in bottom and front edges of the 1/2"x24"x27-7/8" middle partitions. Draw two lines down the center of the 1/2"x24"x38" cabinet bottom (finished wood side). Lines should be 18-3/4" from either edge...this line will help indicate where the middle partition should be attached.
After cutting the counter tops for your cabinet (will be in three segments for easy handling), optionally route the outside edge, sand, and paint/stain. While that is drying, attach your cabinet doors (much more easily accomplished before the counter top is added). You will need hinges designed for inset doors, and my also need to add a 1/2" strip of wood along the inside edges in order to make the hinges sit flush to the face frame (depends on what type of hinges you find).
After all your shelves are on, attach the 32" securing strip to the top. This strip should be opposite of the toe kick...toe kick is on the bottom, securing strip is on the top, toe kick is at the front of the cabinet, securing strip is at the back. Both flush with the outside edges.
