Apothecary Cabinet Plans
Have you ever wanted to build a nice apothecary cabinet? This woodworking plan is easy to follow and breaks the construction down into steps. I have seen finished projects that people tried to improvise and the finished product isn’t near the quality that you will obtain by following the free plans for this apothecary cabinet.
The hardest part of a project like this is making sure that your tolerances are low. A nice fitting drawer is a must to be sure that the quality of this cabinet comes across.
The plan dimensions are metric, so some conversion will be needed. Remember, 1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches.
