Before beginning to build, always check in on my site to make sure you have the most up to date set of plans, I occasionally update and change the plans to make the building process easier or to allow for less expensive purchasing of materials! Read through the entire set of instructions and all comments before beginning this project. If you print out or save plans, be sure to check in on my site to be sure you have the most up to date set of plans, as I occasionally update things for ease of building or buying. If you are new to building, read through the GETTING STARTED section and other articles found under the BUILD tab in the menu on my site, it has valuable information about how to get started, tools and techniques. If you are unfamiliar with the finishing process, visit my Finishing school for some tips and tricks for painting like a pro and for special finishing practices. Use glue to secure your joints and Consider Painting or Staining individual sections prior to assembling. This makes the paint application virtually flawless. Coat with a spray on Poly or Wipe on Poly to protect your finish and your piece and it will last for ages. Adhere to all safety standards and guidelines, and be sure you follow safety protocol throughout your build. If you are unsure about whether you are building safely, run a quick online search for the tool or technique you are using, or contact me via email or post to the forum before you move ahead. My contact info can be found in the menu of my site.
Create your Door Face Frame. Use your pocket hole system set for 3/4″ stock and your 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws and place your pocket holes on the rails (blue).
Attach the Back Panel and the surrounding trim for the Back Panel. Use 3/4″ Finish Nails or Brad Nails and Glue.
Add the Front Panel, fasten using glue and 7/8″ Screws from the Backside, be sure to countersink for the most professional appearance. Leave 1 1/2″ around the perimeter of your Front Panel.
Miter the corners of your Cove Molding and Fasten around the Front Panel as well as the Back Panel using glue and 3/4″ Finish Nails. The dimensions I am giving you below are the longest dimensions and your miter will be inward toward the Front Panel. Hang your doors on the unit using inset hinges. Choose hinges that are easy to install and are affordable for your budget.
