weater Cabinet

Almost anyone can use an extra cabinet in the bedroom, the closet, or any other room. I

needed more space to store my sweaters, and this pretty addition to my bedroom has two shelves

inside, so it provides lots of room. Made with laminated pine sides, back, and top, the cabinet

doesn’t take long to build, and the elegant-looking paneled door is easier to construct than you

might expect. The finished cabinet is approximately 22 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 44

inches tall.

Notes on the Materials

The two sides, back, and top of this cabinet are constructed from laminated 1 x 4 pine. Most

building-supply stores sell sections of pine that have already been laminated. If you want to

laminate the sections yourself, you need a total of 43 linear feet of 1 x 4 pine and two or three bar

clamps.

I used concealed hinges for this cabinet because I wanted the hinges to be invisible from the

outside. If you don’t mind seeing the pin portion of the hinge when the cabinet is closed, you

can substitute butt hinges. I don’t recommend using surface-mounted hinges for this project.

Making the Cabinet Sides, Back, and Top

1. If you purchased boards already laminated, simply cut two sides (A) each 10-1/2” x 35-

1/2”, one back (B) 18-1/4” x 35-1/2”, and one top (C) 11” x 20-3/4”. Then skip down to

Making the Bottom and the Shelves,” below.

If you laminate the boards yourself, it is a good idea to rip a minuscule amount from each

edge to be joined before gluing the wood lengths together. Use this procedure in each of

the following assemblies to ensure a solid bond in the lamination process.

2. To assemble the laminated sides (A), cut six boards from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 35-1/2

inches long.

3. After ripping each edge to be joined, place three

of the boards side by side. Wipe glue on the

meeting 35-1/2-inch-long edges, and clamp the

three boards together using at least two bar

clamps. (Refer to the "Tips and Techniques"

section of our website if you need assistance with

clamping procedures.) Leave the assembly

clamped for at least 24 hours. You now have one

side assembly (A) measuring 10-1/2” x 35-1/2”.

4. Repeat Step 3 to assemble the second side (A).

5. To make one laminated back (B), cut six boards

from 1 x 4 pine, each 35-1/2”.

6. After ripping the edges to be joined, place the six

boards side by side. Wipe glue on the adjoining

35-1/2-inch-long edges, and clamp the six boards

together with bar clamps. Leave the assembly

clamped for at least 24 hours.

7. You now have a laminated section that measures

21 x 35-1/2 inches. Rip one long side of the

lamination to make a back (B) measuring 18-1/4”

x 35-1/2”.

8. To assemble the laminated top (C) cut four

boards from 1 x 4 pine each 20-3/4” long.

Figure 1

9. After ripping the edges to be joined, place the four boards side by side. Wipe glue on the

meeting 20-3/4-inch-long edges, and clamp the four boards together with bar clamps.

Leave the assembly clamped for at least 24 hours.

10. You how have a laminated section that measures 14 x 20-3/4 inches. Rip one short side of

the lamination so that the resulting top (C) measures 11 x 20-3/4 inches.

Making the Bottom and the Shelves

The cabinet bottom (D) and two shelves (E) are identical. Each measures 8-7/8” x 18-1/4”.

1. Rip a total of five feet of 1 x 10 pine so that it measures 8-7/8 inches wide.

2. Cut one cabinet bottom (D) and two shelves (E) from the ripped 1 x 10 pine, each

measuring 18-1/4 inches long.

3. The two shelves (E) are supported by

shelf supports (F) that are screwed to the

inside of the cabinet sides. The actual

placement of the shelves inside the

cabinet is optional. I placed my first

one 13 inches from the top, and the

second shelf 13 inches below that.

Figure 1 shows the placement of the

shelf supports.

4. Cut four shelf supports (F) from 1 x 2

pine, each measuring 8-7/8 inches long.

5. According to the spacing that your

desire, mark the placement of the shelf

supports (F) on the inside face of each

of the sides (A). Referring to Figure 1 ,

note that the shelf supports (F) are

installed 3/4 inch from the rear edge of

the sides (A) in order to accommodate

the back (B). There is a 7/8” space at the

front ends of the shelf supports (F) to

allow for the door.

Figure 2

6. Glue and screw the two shelf supports

(F) to inside face of each side (A) using

two 1-1/4-inch-long screws on each

shelf support (F). The two sides with the

shelf supports attached should be mirror

images of each other

Assembling the Cabinet

1. Figure 2 shows the assembly of the cabinet. Note that the cabinet top, back, and sides are

all flush at the rear, and that the top overhangs the sides and front by 1/2 inch. The bottom

fits inside the cabinet like a bottom shelf. Use glue and screws on all of the assembly steps,

and countersink the screws.

2. Place the back (B) between the two sides (A). Screw through the sides (A) into the edges

of the back (B) using 1-1/4-inch-long screws spaced about 5 inches apart.

3. Fit the bottom (D) between the two sides (D) so that it is flush with the lower edges of the

sides. Screw through the sides (A) into the edges of the bottom (D), using three 1-1/4-inch-

long screws on each side. Also use three 1-1/4-inch screws through the back (B) into the

edge of the bottom (D).

4. Fit the top (C) onto the cabinet. It should be flush with the cabinet assembly at the back,

and overhang the front and sides by ½”. Screw through the top (C) into the edges of the

sides (A) and into the edge of the back (B). Use 1-1/4-inch-long screws spaced about every

5 inches.

Figure 3

Building the Base

As shown in Figure 3 , the base of the cabinet is an assembly of two mitered frames built from 2

x 4s. Note that the smaller frame on the bottom is made from the 2 x 4s standing on edge, and

that the larger, upper frame is assembled with the 3-1/2” width placed horizontally. The top of

the base extends 1 inch beyond the cabinet on the front and sides, and is flush with the cabinet in

the back.

1. Rip a total of 5-1/2 feet of 2 x 4 pine so that it measures 2 inches wide.

2. Cut two lower base side pieces (G) from the ripped 2 x 4, each measuring 10-1/2 inches

long.

3. With each lower base side piece (G) standing on edge, miter both ends at a 45-degree angle.

4. Cut two lower base front/back pieces (H) from the ripped 2 x 4, measuring 22-1/2 inches

long.
