Construction

Looking at the front of the cabinet (and the materials list), the number and placement of all the pieces can be overwhelming. To get a simple look at the construction, you just need to walk around back. The rear view in the diagrams quickly shows many of the details of the construction

and simplifies the built-up mouldings, making them approachable.

Start construction by gluing up and trimming to size the panels for the sides, tops and bottoms for both sections.

After the panels are sized, cut dados in the sides to accommodate the drawer runners. If you're building the cabinet as pictured, use the diagrams to locate the divider locations and cut the dados in the sides.

Both cabinets have ¹/2"-thick shiplapped backs made from multiple boards. To accommodate the back thickness, cut a ¹/2" x ⁵/s" rabbet on all four sides.

Next, cut through-dovetails to join each cabinets' sides, tops and bottoms. Glue up both carcasses; be sure to check them for squareness as you go.

Now let's look at the upper and lower sections separately, starting with the simpler lower

cabinet, which is nearly complete. All that's left is to glue the front and rear drawer dividers in place. Unlike the upper cabinet, the drawers in the lower unit use heavy-duty full extension drawer slides. So there's no need for drawer runners, but dad's a perfectionist, so he went ahead and used mortise-and-tenon joinery to attach the two runners to the front and rear dividers.

When you attach the dividers,
