The key to making this pull-out cabinet is to measure the cabinet opening first. That way, you can size the parts to fit properly. But after that, it’s just a matter of cutting out the plywood parts, adding the joinery, and assembling the case with glue and screws. Once you have it all put together, attach the drawer slides to the cabinet sides and the top strips. Then, as a final touch, reattach the door to the front panel. That way, the cabinet will blend right in with the rest when the door is closed.
The cabinet isn’t difficult to make, but it’s proven extremely handy. It has front and back panels that each feature a dado, a rabbet, and a groove that accept top, bottom, and divider panels. In addition, the top has three strips attached that turn it into a compartmentalized tray. Once it’s assembled, the whole thing slides in and out of the cabinet on a pair of heavy-duty drawer slides.
The front and back also have a series of shelf pin holes for adjustable shelves on either side of the divider.
