Step 4

These guys are for hanging the cabinet later on. For heavier loads, I suggest more braces under the remaining fixed shelves. Attach with glue and screws - try 3/4" pocket holes on back sides.

Build your face frame separately with hidden 3/4" pocket holes on back side. Then attach to carcass using the predrilled pocket holes from step 2.

Step 7

For standard full overlay doors with 1/2" reveal between doors/drawers, door size is as shown above. When you hang the doors, adjust so 1/4" of the face frame is revealed on the ends of the face frame, 1/2" on tops and bottoms.

And these concealed hinges, although a 1 1/4" overlay face frame euro concealed hinge would do the trick too.

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
