How to Make Shaker Style Kitchen Base Cabinets

Why would anyone make their own cabinets? They’re pretty cheap at the home improvement stores.

Well, that is… until you want them to:
Be made from plywood and NOT be made out of particle board, so they can survive the first drop of moisture (they are in a kitchen after all)
Look nicer than the builder basic cabinets featured in every rental property ever
Customize the dimensions to the space you have, etc. etc.

Then kitchen cabinets quickly become VERY expensive

In this video we’re making custom shaker style base cabinets using simple woodworking techniques. The goal was to keep them accessible so even beginning woodworkers could tackle this project and I think we’ve pulled that off! No large dado slots, no rabbet cuts for the doors, mostly plywood rectangles and pocket holes! After watching you’ll be able to recreate these cabinets for yourself!

On second thought… why don’t more people make their own cabinets? 😋
