To make this wood play kitchen stove, we used up 1 - 1x12 board (about $15 here) and the rest was scrap wood random stuff left over from various other projects. Save the little stuff - it's what can transform a $15 board into a solid wood play kitchen.

- 1 - 1x12 @ 20-1/2"

Instructions
Step 1
Build the basic box out of the 1x12s. You can use pocket holes or 1-1/4" brad nails and glue. All joints will be reinforced.
Step 2
Attach back to sides/top and bottom. Use the 3/4" nails here (the longer nails tend to split out the sides and are unnecessary for tacking the back on). Make sure you keep the project square as you attach.
Step 3
Attach the front pieces with 1-1/4" nails and glue. Again, keep project square as you attach.
Step 4
Build the door panel (I recommend using 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws). Attach the plexiglass with 3/4" long wood screws (you just need one in every corner). Hinge on with self closing hinges.
Step 5
Step 6
Add optional feet to base.
Step 7
For the stovetop we took pieces of wood scraps and made grates on top and nailed down with 1-1/4" nails and glue.
