Storage by design ... yours! Begin by combining two or more of these base cabinets. Next, fill them with a variety of adjustable shelves, drawers and roll-out shelves. For example, the author chose to build a roll-out shelf and place adjustable shelves above it. European-style hinges and overlay doors are perfect for this application. The flexibility of this cabinet design allows you to utilize the huge variety of drawer slides and European-style hinges and unique hardware options now available. 3/4" thick. You can get around this by making two cuts with a smaller diameter bit (and moving your guide to adjust between cuts), or purchase a special router bit designed to cut undersized dadoes and grooves for sheet goods. Stay with the router and your clamped-on straightedge to mill a rabbet (check the Elevation Drawings for details) down the inside back edge of each side (to accept the back), then return to the table saw to cut the bottom and the spacer (pieces 2 and 3) to size. The spacer is a handy little piece designed to keep the tops of the cabinet sides parallel. It also provides a solid edge for doors or drawers to close against. Fasten the sides to the bottom with glue in the dadoes and screws. As this is a utility cabinet, I used three standard black phosphate-coated screws driven through each dado into countersunk pilot holes. However, there are screws available with plastic caps that dress up the heads, in case your cabinet ends up in a more "finished" area than the workshop. Clamp the spacer in place while the glue dries, to help keep everything square. While you're waiting, you can cut the two rails (pieces 4), the hardwood toe kick (piece 5), and the cabinet back (piece 6) to size. The back can be made from standard 1/4" white paneling: it doesn't have to be melamine. Screw the rails in place next. Drive the screws down from the top through countersunk holes into both the top edges of the cabinet sides and the top face of the spacer.
