1/2 sheet 1/4" plywood for backs
2 - 1x2 @ 8 feet long in matching hardwood species
1 - 1x3 @ 30" in matching hardwood species

Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Thank you for the concise, easy-to-follow plans, Ana. One question about the door hinges, just for clarity in my mind...the hinges that you say "hinge two doors together" are used instead of, say, a piano hinge? Then you use a different type of hinge (Euro-style?) to attach the two doors to the cabinet? Thank you for any clarification. I don't understand the myriad of hinge types available.
Hi Linda, thank you! You'll need some way of attaching the two doors together. A piano hinge could work, but the hinge pin would show, and there's no way of controlling the exact gap between the doors to get your 1/4" reveal on the edges. The hinge you'll need for attaching the two doors together is called a Pie-cut Corner Hinge
Hope this helps! Ana
Rockler actually sells the whole she-bang kit for the two sets you'll need! http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21290&site=ROCKLER

Thank you for the reply! I will head over to Rockler right now and check it out. You've been most helpful!!
You make these seem so straightforward. I will be so amazed if I can master making cabinets: I think I'll try some out for my basement before I take on the kitchen.....
I'm going to attempt my own, but I'm having some trouble deciding on the type of ply to use. Many forums say you need A1, some say "cabinet grade" (don't even know what this is) and some DIY say B4 is fine....what did type did you use? and did you find the sheets were fairly flat (not bowed), I'm thinking about frameless and a bit nervous about bow in the plywood, and where did you find your 1/4" ply (is that maple?) for the door pannels?....sorry about the million questions- excited to start this!
Ana - is there any special way to join the cabinets together? Are there special screws or do you just use regular ones screwed through the 1/2" spacer that's between the cabs. I'm building these lovely cabinets for my laundry room and I'm just unsure as how to keep them snugged up to each other. Thanks for your help with this in advance!
