Overall cost: $$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.
cut the base to to final with a tracksaw (or jigsaw) and a table saw.
Mark the diagonal lines according to the image. Then cut out the lines with a track saw or jigsaw.
Using a combo square and a standard square, mark each cross hair for the handles, through hole. The slots will receive a 5/16” hole and a 1” forstner bit is used for the handles and through hole. Drill out the holes accordingly with a drill press or regular drill.
Assemble the cabinets with glue and staples. You can also use pocket holes if you choose.
The parts for the drawer boxes are listed in the cut list. However, measure each opening before cutting. I made the boxes out of poplar but you can use plywood if you choose. Each part is sized 1/16” shorter than the drawer opening so the drawer can slide easier. The drawer bottom is 1/2” shorter than the front to back measurement to allow space for the drawer front. All the parts are attached to the drawer bottom with glue and pin nails.
