Overall cost: $$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.
Tools: Circular Saw, Tape Measure. Materials: Plywood, 3/4", 4x8 sheet
Cut with the grain, longest cuts first — rip an 18"-wide strip off the sheet, then cut the sides and bottom shelf from that strip. Consider having the lumber yard make these long cuts for easier transport.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: Plywood, 3/4", 4x8 sheet
Place the bottom shelf between the sides and attach with a pocket hole jig, or countersunk screws or 2" finish nails and wood glue.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Tape Measure. Materials: Pine, 1x3, 8 ft
Attach the front and back face rails. The front rail needs a 4" space left above it to clear the vanity top and any fixtures. The back rails go at the top and bottom of the bottom shelf, centered.
Tools: Brad Nailer, Jigsaw. Materials: Pine, 1x6, 4 ft, Finish nails or brad nails, 3/4"
Cut out the toe kick opening and attach with 2" finish nails and wood glue.
Tools: Brad Nailer. Materials: Decorative trim stock, 1x2 x 1/4" thick, 8 ft
Glue and attach the decorative trim pieces to the front apron, if using them.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Random Orbit Sander. Materials: Decorative trim stock, 1x2 x 1/4" thick, 8 ft, Edge banding, 25 ft roll, Full-overlay door hinges, set
Attach decorative trim to the door faces if desired, add edge banding to any stained edges, and hang the doors with full-overlay hinges.
