Construct sides. I'm not providing specific measurements because I made mine to fit a specific area. Build yours for your area.

I added plywood into the pine frames. This is a garage paint cabinet, so I didn't use expenses wood, but I still wanted it to look nice.

I used 3/4 inch plywood for the top. I screwed the top. From inside the cabinet. I also sanded down the edges to give the cabinet softer edges.

Measure desired area for butt hinge. I cut a scrap piece of wood about 3-5 inches long and used it to measure the hinge placement from the top and bottom and each side.

Mark areas and route out the area. Used a chisel for the corners.

I added 2 coats of stain. Let it dry for 24 hours.

I brushed on 2 coats of polyurethane. I sanded lightly between coats.

I added my paint supplies place cabinet in it final resting area. Works perfect!
