Of course, a table saw is handy, but a circular saw will do the trick for a fraction of the cost.Ĭutting down 4×8 sheets of plywood is hard for a scrawny girl like me. You could build this entire cabinet with only these tools. See disclosure policy for details.Īs usual, I used a few tools in this build that came in quite handy that I highly recommend having around in your shop. I’ve got several in the works, so stay tuned!

Now that I think about it, I really, really like pieces with versatile storage options haha.Īnyway, back to the cabinet…I’ve got the free plans for you over on Build Something so be sure to click over to grab those, but I’ve also got the video tutorial posted on YouTube and I’d love it so much if you’d check that out. Or the modern dresser armoire…or the faux drawer dresser. It’s kind of like the combination storage cabinetI built a while back.
