These first steps are just preparing the materials to be used to build our cabinet. Therefore I have taken no pictures of these steps. They should be self explanitory.

Materials needed:

11 8ft 2x4 planks
9 8ft 2x2 planks
A box of 2.5" screws
2-3 hinges

Tools needed:

Power drill
Power Miter Saw (unless you want to waste hours doing it manually)
Jig Saw


Step 1:

Take 8 out of your 11 2x4's and cut them down to 72" long a piece.

Step 2:

Take each piece and cut it with your miter saw at a 45 degree angle. Be sure that the ends of 2x4's face each other.. like two slashes /____________________\ is what is should look like after you've cut both ends. Try as best as possible to not lose any of your 72" length.

If you think you might mess up then in step 1 cut your pieces to be a few inches longer. 74" or so.

Step 3:

Take your 2x4's and cut two pieces that are 32" long each

Step 4:

Cut these in 45 degree angles as in step 2.

Step 5:


Take your 2x4's and cut two pieces that are 28" long each

Step 6:

Cut ends at 45 degree angles as in step 2:
