<\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>A few before and after photos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n I cannot give you the exact amount of board feet in Maple I used but I can show you how much Maple plywood went into building them. This plywood was used for the cabinet boxes and shelves. In the end I had 2 sheets of 1\/4″ and 1 sheet of 3\/4″ plywood leftover. Part of this would be to build a bookcase for my son’s room. This can be seen in a different article \/ video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe first part of this series involves me primarily explaining what I’m doing as I start the upper cabinet face frame build. I skip ahead in and already have some of my S3S milled down to the proper thickness and ripped to the proper lengths so we can jump right into building the face face frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the face frame joinery I use Kreg Pocket screws along with wood glue. In the past I used to use dowels and glue but this method is much faster as there is half the amount of holes to drill. I have also found that most modern cabinets are made this same way so why not take advantage of current methods. I’ve also experimented with biscuits and glue but found that this method created open slots on smaller dimension lumber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve included a few Amazon Links<\/a> below for the equipment and materials I used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
