Fine Woodworking's Wall Cabinet Plan (Project Plan)

On the surface, this is a simple cabinet, but it's the surface that really sets this project apart. Proud joinery and slightly offset components in the case and door create a symphony of highlight and shadows. The mortise-and-tenon joinery is made simple through the use of a spacer that ensures accuracy without measuring. Blue tape, used as a guide when sawing and chopping the joints, ensures a perfect fit without fuss. The case dovetails are rabbeted at the rear edge to accommodate the back. The door is traditional frame and-panel construction, with a hinge strip that simplifies mortising.

SKILL LEVEL:
Intermediate

FINISHED SIZE:
13 1/8 in. wide. by 24 1/8 in. tall by 6 in. deep
