How to Build & Install a Wall Cabinet 02
Measure and cut 3⁄4" plywood top and bottom panels, then glue and clamp the side panels to the top and bottom panels to form dado joints. Reinforce the joints with 2" finish nails driven every 3".
Attach the back panel using glue and 3⁄4" screws. Set the back panel into the rabbets at the back edges of the cabinet. Secure the back with 11⁄2" finish nails driven into the cabinet edges.
Attach a 1 × 3 nailing strip on the inside of the cabinet, about 11⁄2" down from the top. Drive three 3⁄4" wood screws through the back panel and into the nailing strip, and then drive a pair of 2" finish nails through the side panel and into the ends of the nailing strip.
Make the face frame. Measure the height and width of the cabinet interior and then cut 1 × 3 face-frame rails that are 43⁄4" shorter than the cabinet width. Cut face-frame stiles 4" longer than the height. Glue, square, and then clamp the rails between the stiles. You could use biscuits, splines, or dowels to reinforce the joints (these need to be installed before clamping). Here, pocket screws are being driven at the joints of the face frame using a pocket screw jig.
