3. Face frame to the cabinet
Bore holes to the fastened surface of the face frame. This frame will be needed to hold the doors that connect to the cabinet. You will need four pieces of 1×6 lumber for every cabinet that you wish to make. You can now attach the lumber pieces – use wood screws. Now you’ve got your frame. Drill the necessary holes into the face frame then with nails, append to the cabinet frame. Use the wood putty to coat the nail hollow, after nailing.
4. Cut the doors
To make doors for the frames of the cabinet, cut the plywood into a size of ¼ to 3/8 inches extend beyond for the purpose of easy opening. The table saw should be used in cutting the plywood. The next thing to do is to sand the edges for a smooth outcome.
