Indoor Mailbox Plans

Perfect for use in your kitchen or home office.

One of the great features is that it is designed to hold your bottles and glasses, yet the scale allows for it to be a showpiece. This is an ideal item if you don’t want something built in, but want to give the impression that it is.  

If you are a woodworker and know a wine lover, this is a great gift.  Next time you are in their home, sneak some measurements and build a custom cabinet for them.

This plate rack is a bit unique and will hold a number of items. Check out the cool plate rack plans.

This is rather simple woodworking construction of a cabinet carcass. However, if you have never built a cabinet before, you might not realize ho simple it is to achieve a great result. A cabinet (in this case a bathroom vanity) is nothing more than a plywood box with a base and a toe kick. The part that dresses up the cabinet is the face frame and the doors. When you think about it, there isn’t a lot to it and the skill level is not that high to achieve a professional result.

The part that makes your cabinet look professional will be the doors. Now, you could build your own doors, but if you don’t have the right tools your design choices will be limited and the quality of construction could be jeopardized. You could purchase a door kit for your router table or shaper, but a quality set will be north of $100. You can see how this might only make sense if you are building an entire kitchen full of cabinets.

We have a simple and inexpensive solution for the perfect set of doors. There are companies out there who just build doors. Many people will reface old cabinets in an kitchen remodel. It is a great option for a do it yourselfer and so a number of companies have popped up offering nothing more than cabinet doors in a number of styles. You can check on Ebay or at Rockler.com. I would recommend a company called Doors and Pulls. This cabinet door company offers a number of options in terms of style, sizes, and the wood used. You won’t believe how inexpensive they are. Once you have your doors, match up your face frame lumber and start building your own cabinet.

Material List

The wood used in the original plan is oak, but I would recommend a wood that is readily available and provides a nice match with your existing room.

Doesn’t everyone want more counter top space or cabinet storage?  At times it is very useful.  This kitchen island is attractive, relatively easy to build and affordable.  The casters make this a great project that won’t require you to damage your existing floors or make a permanent change to your kitchen layout.  In fact, if you move, take this island with you.

This island is so useful, you might want to make 2 of them.  One for your workshop and one for your kitchen.  If you choose to build 2, build the workshop island version first.  You will get any of the kinks out and your kitchen island project is likely to turn out a little better.  If building one for your shop, consider the height of your table saw and keep the island height in line with that.  This will act as a terrific outfeed table for your table saw.

Good luck building!
