The Plans



With all of your wood pieces finished, you can now either stain or paint your cabinet. I love using Wise Owl’s Glazes for stains and my favorites are Black Walnut, Java, and Driftwood. After your pieces have dried, you can begin to assemble your cabinet. Cut your chicken wire to fit the inside of your cabinet door with about an inch of overlap. Use your staple to staple the wire inside the door. Use a wire cutter to snip off any excess wire. Next, drill a hole(s) for your knob or pull and attach your hardware. Lastly, attach both hinges to your door and the cabinet box.
