A stylish cabinet can be a DIY home improvement project, giving you a lot of savings and freedom to style it the way you want it. All it takes are the right instructions. This project below will need you at least (4) hours of drying time and around $250 for the stained glass panels. Also, it’s moderately difficult to do, so you’ll probably need some carpentry skills to do this one.
Here’s the step-by-step instruction for creating this cabinet:
1.Cut wood to size to the length of the glass door, and ensure the ends and shelves are 1.5 inches than the window’s width.
2.Layout placement using pencil and framing square, marking the sides according to placement.
3.Fit parts together by gluing top and bottom panels between each side wall, and attach at the shelves.
4.Screw pieces into the unit to reinforce the strength of the glue.
5.Paint your cabinet, and let it completely dry.
6.Attach the back panel and secure with glue and steel tacks.
7.Mortise hinges by carving out wood with a chisel with the bevel side faced down. Then, turn the chisel bevel side up to smooth its surface.
8.Line hinges to glass panel. Fasten the closed hinges in the mortises, fit the glass door on top, and mark where the hinges meet.
9.Attach hardware. Pre-drill screw holes first, place unit on the side next to glass panels, and attach.
10.Attach handles with screws for easy opening and closing of the cabinet door.
