The pocket holes are on the bottom so you will never see them. The bottom shelves are secured with pocket holes as well. On the sides that were going to be exposed I put the pocket holes on the inside of the cabinet but I made sure not to put any where you could easily see them if the door was open. Each of these cabinets that I built had one side that was going to be against the wall so on those sides I put the pocket holes facing out. (pic 3)Īfter the face frames are complete I attached the side panels to the face frames with pocket holes as well. With all of the pocket holes cut the face frame assembly goes very quick. At the same time if you aren't going to be doing a lot of pocket hole projects a simple $20 pocket hole jig will be just fine. If you are doing a lot of projects using pocket holes a pocket hole machine may be a justifiable option for you. There are a lot of different pocket hole jigs and machines out there that will all complete the same task. The general construction method for these cabinets is pocket holes. I generally get mine from Lowes as it's the only kiln dried supplier I have near me. That's OK because their competitors will. If the place you get your lumber from doesn't allow you to do that then they don't want your money. Well, the biggest thing I can say is to spend a lot of time picking out quality boards.

The drawer fronts are just a piece of 1圆 and the doors are simple tongue and groove construction with floating plywood panels. The design I am using is a very conservative straight line design. The same construction methods can be used for kitchen cabinets as the only difference between them and kitchen cabinets are the height and depth. The cabinets I am building in this instructable are bathroom vanities. Hopefully it will be of some use to those who are looking to build cabinets and are looking for a reliable method.
