At first we looked around to see what we could find that would work with our layout and appliances. We soon realized it just wasn't feasible to find reasonably priced cabinets that would work with our farm sink and RV oven/stove without major reworking. We also wanted toe kick drawers for additional storage so we just decided to build our own. I'm not going to go in-depth into this process because it would be a book by the time I'm done but instead I'll just give you a quick briefing and some of the materials used. If you have specific questions feel free to reach out to us and we will help where we can. We used 4X8' 3/4'' birch plywood for the carcasses. These are typically cut down to 23 1/4" deep by 34 1/2" tall. This is so once the 3/4" face frames are attached the cabinet, they will then measure 24" leaving a 1'' overhang for a typical 25" countertop. This will also leave you about 36" tall once your 1 1/2"countertops are on. This is just a standard; things can very if desired. All the face frames and drawer fronts were made from 3/4" poplar and 1/4" birch insert panels. The carcasses were Kreg Jig'd and glued together. We used dado joinery as a technique for our face frames and drawer body's. There are a variety of cabinet building techniques and materials that can be used. This is what worked for us with the tools and methods we knew.
