Step-by-step build — 7 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Drill 3/4" pocket holes along the back side edges of both back pieces so the sides can attach in later steps.
Attach the bottom shelf with a 5" space underneath, using the base support pieces as spacers to set the gap. Drill 3/4" pocket holes along the underside of the side edges.
Attach the sides to the back and bottom, keeping a 5" gap under the bottom shelf on the sides. Drill 3/4" pocket holes along the sides for the face frame.
Cut the top from scrap left over from the back pieces, cutting out the pie-cut front. Drill 3/4" pocket holes facing forward on the front pie-cut edges for the face frame.
Build the face frame separately with 3/4" pocket holes, pocket hole screws, and glue. Attach through the predrilled pocket holes with pocket hole screws, overextending the sides by 1/4".
Hang the cabinet door with concealed euro-style hinges, matching the door height to the other base cabinets and cutting the door 3/8" wider than the face frame's inside opening.
Sand all surfaces and finish with primer and paint or stain and poly. When installing, use scrap plywood blocking at the wall attachment point, since this cabinet has no 1/4" back panel tacked on like the others in the run.
