ABINET
If you think elegant projects have to be time-consuming and hard to build, take a closer
look at this versatile display cabinet that can be built in one weekend!
great in just about any room of your house,
including your shop. It's an easy-to-build project
that can be completed in one weekend with a
minimum of carpentr y tools. For example, in
place of the more traditional (and complicated)
mortise and tenon joints on the doors, we used
simple bridle joints that can be cut entirely on a
table saw. We'll show you step by step how to set
up your saw for this simple method of joiner y.
Also, we've included plenty of design options
that will allow you to custom build this project
to your own taste. Choose between solid wood
or glass for the doors and shelves, and then mix
and match different types of hardwood to create
a unique overall look to the project. In our shop
version of the cabinet, we used a combination of
cherr y and ash. See photo below.
HARDWARE
We ordered our glass from a local glass shop
after
the door
frames had been built. The shelf supports, double ball catches,
and wood plugs are all fairly common, and if you can’t find
them locally, you can order them from a variety of online wood-
working supply catalogs.
We ordered most of our hardware from
Lee Valley
(www.leevalley.com). The square plate pulls (part no. 01A52.20)
went on the drawers. The vertical ring pulls (part no. 01A52.61)
were used on the doors. You can also order the 2" x 1

Case
The basic case of this dis-
play cabinet is quite simple
— just a pair of sides that
trap a top, bottom and a sin-
gle, fixed shelf, as you can
see in Fig. 1. Later, you’ll
add a vertical divider to cre-
ate the drawer openings, a
cleat for hanging the cabi-
net, and a plywood back.
But for now, you can focus
on the basic case pieces.
SIDES, TOP, BOTTOM & SHELF.
The first thing to do is cut
the
sides (A)
and the
top
,
bottom
and
shelf (B)
to size
from
3
/
4
"-thick stock. (I chose to
build this cabinet in cherr y, but it
would also look great in other woods
like oak or maple.) Before you rip the
top, bottom and shelf to width, note
that they’re slightly wider than the
sides so they will stand
1
/
8
" proud, as
shown in the photo at left and Fig.
1b.
The sides require the most work,
so I started with them. First, I cut a
chamfer on both ends, as shown in
Fig. 2. This is a fairly deep chamfer,
so instead of cutting it in multiple
passes with a router bit, I cut it on the
table saw using an auxiliar y miter
gauge fence to support the piece.
You can leave the auxiliar y fence in
place while you cut the dadoes to hold
the top, bottom, and shelf, as shown
in Figs. 1a and 3. And to make sure
the dadoes line up across from each
other, you’ll want to either add a stop
to the end of the auxiliar y fence or
use the rip fence as a stop, as I did in
Fig. 3. (You can do this because the
cuts don’t go all the way through, so
there are no waste pieces to kick back
at you.)
The last thing to do on the side
pieces is drill the series of
3
/
8
"-deep
holes for the L-shaped shelf supports
that will hold the glass shelves.
Before the case can be assembled,
you’ll need to do a little work on the
top, bottom and shelf. First, the front
edge of each needs a
1
/
16
" chamfer,
as indicated in Fig. 1b. Then in the
shelf and bottom pieces, you’ll want to
drill the two counterbored shank
holes that will hold the drawer divider.

HANGING
CLEAT
23
!/4"
2
!/2"
(It would be a bit awkward to do this
after assembly.)
Gluing this case together isn’t hard.
Just remember the top, bottom and
shelf stand proud in front of the case
and are flush in back.
After the glue on the case is dr y,
the next thing to do is rout the rabbet
for the
1
/
4
" plywood back panel. As
you can see in Figs. 4 and 4a, I did
this with a hand-held router, using
scrap blocks to help support the
router base so it wouldn’t tip. Then I
came back and cleaned up the cor-
ners with a chisel (Fig. 4b).
DRAWER DIVIDER
. Before you cut the
back to size, there are two other
pieces to make. First I cut a
drawer
divider (C)
to fit between the shelf
and bottom, as shown in Fig. 5. But
note that the front of the divider sets
back
1
/
8
", just like the sides (Fig. 5a).
After screwing the divider in place
(Fig. 5a), the screws can be covered
with
3
/
8
"-dia. wood plugs. (I’d recom-
mend you use face grain plugs here
so they’ll be less noticeable.)
HANGING CLEAT
. The next piece I
added was a
hanging cleat (D)
, as
you can see in Fig. 5. This way, when
hanging the cabinet on the wall later,
I had a
3
/
4
"-thick solid-wood piece to
screw through, instead of the
1
/
4
" ply-
wood back.
Making the cleat is a two-step
process. It’s cut to fit between the rab-
bets for the back, but to get it to fit
flush with the back, you’ll need to cut
a rabbet around three edges of its
front face, as shown in Figs. 5b and 6.
The second step is just cutting
another rabbet — this time, to match

. When the cleat has been
glued in place, you can cut the ply-

the rabbet (Fig. 5b).
GLASS SHELVES

to order the glass for the shelves until
you order the glass for the doors later.
