SIX STEPS TO BUILD YOUR EXCLUSIVE CABINET

　　Building your own cabinet for the bathroom requires a set of plans and a few woodworking tools. Plans can be purchased either online or at a home store or woodworking shop. Alternatively any person who can accurately use a tape measure can draw them. They can be sketched by hand or designed in a CAD drawing program. Once you have the plan of your choice, the next step is determining a materials list. By purchasing all of your materials at one time, you are assured of having everything needed on hand when you begin assembling your bathroom cabinet.

　　Instructions as follows:

　　Firstly, measure the area where you wish to place the cabinet.

　　Secondly, write down the exact measurements for each dimension of the cabinet; height, width and length. Even an eighth of an inch can make a big difference in the final look.

　　Thirdly, use a pencil and paper to draw a rough sketch of the cabinet you want to build. Transfer all appropriate measurements to the matching part of the drawing.

　　Fourthly, using a CAD program can help visualize the cabinet in 3D before building and can help determine the materials list you will need at the home store or lumberyard.

　　Fifthly, decide what type of wood you want to build the cabinet with. Keep in mind that a bathroom is a moist environment and the wood will need extra protection. Add a wood stain and sealer or paint of your choice to your materials list.


　　Sixthly, decide what type of hardware you wish to use on the cabinets. Remember to think of different styles of handles and knobs and do not forget hinges for the doors. Add your selected hardware to your materials list.
