Sand the panels to #180 grit before gluing them up in the frame-and-panel assemblies. Don't sand the inside edges of the rail-and-stile pieces at the point where they mate to form the joints. You could easily create an ugly gap.

Glue up the door assemblies. It's a loose-panel assembly, so don't glue the frames' grooves. As the seasons change, you want your panel to expand and contract.

I used four Amerock partial wrap-around hinges to attach the doors to the cabinet and two magnetic catches to keep them shut. Don't forget the wooden knobs.

Initially I painted my cabinet

3/4"-

yellow, which is the color shown here. But I decided I didn't like the yellow, so later I painted it black and then distressed the finish. There's no need to finish the Masonite shelves. Simply cut them to finished size and slide them into place.

This cabinet is the perfect solution for my woodworking and fishing storage needs. Whenever people visit my shop they comment on its ingenuity. It's so simple! There's only one problem: I didn't build this cabinet big enough. I'm currently working on a chimney cabinet design to resolve this issue. PW

I built my cope-and-stick doors using a stile-and-rail bit set in my router. The doors are optional and can be made however you wish.
