My January weekends have been partially filled with building cabinets for the shop. They are nothing fancy ... plywood boxes, pocket hole construction, and rough-lumber fronts. This was my first time building cabinets of this sort and I found it to be VERY different than "fine" woodworking which I've aspired (perspired?) to do.
The cabinets are made of 3/4" ply, the drawers are also 3/4" ply (overkill, I know, but it's what I had). The tops are double-stack 3/4" ply with a laminate applied. The drawers are using 100lb drawer slides (el-cheapo's from Amazon, work great!). The drawer fronts are the outsides of very rough boards I had mix-matched around the shop. Next up will be the drawer pulls and doors, then I move on to wall cabinets.
All in all there are 8 cabinets in total.
