Learning how to build garage storagecabinets is easy to understand with simple plans, frameless (or european) cabinet construction and simple joinery. And with 3/4″ thick plywood or sheet stock, you can make garage storage cabinets in 3 simple steps:
- Choose plan – this determines the quantity of materials you will need
- Cut all the parts by following the plywood cutting diagrams in the plan
- Assemble the parts into a complete cabinet using pocket hole joinery
Let’s first take a look at how we assemble everything – you’ll see and understand how easy the cutting diagrams will be to follow.
Construction and assembly is easy with simple butt joints and simple cabinet construction. No need for hand tools, fancy dado cuts or rabbets – we’re going to cut big squares of wood and use pocket screws to join everything together.
