This approach has a couple of major advantages.
Built in kitchen cabinets diy.
As i mentioned earlier we actually built our own kitchen cabinets.
This saved a lot of money on wood as i didn t have to frame up every cabinet.
I chose to go with open shelving.
I liked the way it looked like an old farm kitchen since i was able to add a set of.
Leveling one platform is a lot easier than positioning each cabinet individually.
Then cut 4 panels out of 1 by 6 lumber for the base panels and top bracers and cut 4 more panels for the face of the cabinet.
Base drawer cabinets unlike shelves are so useful because they neatly conceal your kitchen utilities.
The cabinets are just boxes.
To start off you require plywood strips for the sides shelves and base support 1 2 plywood strips for the face frames 1 inch pocket screw holes inch nails and drawer slides.
No extended sides to form a base no toe kick cutouts.

Plus i didn t have to waste wood for doors.
Second installation is faster.
