Tiny Kitchen Prep Cart with Trash Bin

Build two end frames from the legs and side trim. Joining the trim to the legs first isn't structurally required, just keeps the joint snug — attach the plywood first if you'd rather nail the trim on after.

Drill 3/4" pocket holes on the sides and tops of the plywood side panels on the inside. Attach to the 2x2 legs, and nail and glue to the 1x2 trim pieces.

If using a hinge-down drawer face and you don't have a right-angle drill, attach it now before further assembly.

Attach trim pieces to the side panels to tie the project together, using glue at all joints.

Drill 3/4" pocket holes around all four sides of the bottom plywood piece. Attach with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws and glue.

Build doors and drawers to fit the actual openings, leaving an 1/8" gap around all sides as a starting point but measuring your actual hinges first, since butt hinges can require closer to 1/4".

Attach the tabletop boards on top, and the bottom shelf slats and trim below.

Attach knobs and pulls to doors/drawer. Attach caster wheels to the base. Sand and apply primer and paint, or stain and poly.
