Here are some of the tips which will help you to build a Tool Storage Cabinet
- Use a circular saw to crosscut a 4x8-foot sheet of ¾-inch A-C plywood down to 5 feet long.
- Rip the ¾-inch plywood to width on a table saw to form the cabinet's top, bottom, sides and center divider.
- Adjust the table saw blade and rip fence to cut a rabbet into the rear edge of the two sides of the cabinet.
- Install a stacking dado blade in the table saw and cut shallow grooves in the cabinet sides and center divider for metal shelf standards.
- Screw a shelf sides of the groove which was cut by the dado blade.
- Use a pocket-hole jig to bore pocket-screw holes into the ends of the cabinet's top and bottom.
- Fastly apply the top and bottom to the sides with 2-inch pocket screws.Place the center shelf between the top and bottom and hold it place with a bar clamp. Secure the shelf with some of 2-inch screws.
- Then Cut the cabinet back from ½-inch plywood.
- Lay the cabinet face down. Apply carpenter's glue to the every side of the cabinet, and also on the edge of the top, bottom and center divider.
- Set the ½-inch plywood back into a place where the glue was added and tack it with a pneumatic pin nailer and 1-inch pin. Secure the back with 1 ?-inch screws.
- Then Use a miter saw to crosscut 1x3 pine to the length of the tenon; make two vertical stiles and two horizontal rails for each cabinet door.
- Then, use the table saw to cut grooves on to the edges of the stiles and rails to accept the ¼-inch make slice hole to the hardboard panel.
- Adjust the table saw blade and rip fence, and use a miter gauge to cut a tenon into both ends of each rail.
- Then Use the table saw to cut two door panels from ¼-inch make slice hole on hardboard.
- Spread some of the glue onto the tenons and then clamp two rails to one stile. Tack together each corner joint with a pin nailer and ?-inch pins.
- Then Slide the door panel into the grooves cut in the doorframe, then glue and nail on the remaining rail of the cabinet. Don't apply glue to the door panel.
- Repeat the same Steps 16 and 17 to assemble the second door.
- Attach the doors to the cabinet with continuous piano hinges for maximum strength.
- Fasten apply one pull handle to each door.
- Then Cut and install four ¾-inch plywood shelves.
- Then finally Mount the cabinet to the wall, making sure you screw securely tight into the wall studs.
