Midsize Workbench

I am actually an electrician and newer to woodworking and want to learn cabinets so I can build them for my kitchen. I figured I would start by building them for my garage. First, I wanted to find something a little bit smaller and easier and after surfing YouTube I chose this build specifically. This was my first ever attempt making a cabinet and the plans were fantastic to have! It gave me a reference and a guide for the construction. I did deviate from the plans making mine a little bigger and I wanted to try some more advanced joinery so I did locking rabbits with a captured 1/4” plywood bottom and back panel. It really wasn’t that hard to take the plans and do some math to make adjustments. Also, having the video to go along with it makes it super easy. I think this is the perfect first build. I’d definitely recommend!

One thing to note on page 11: when attaching the stretchers with screws, make sure to place them outside of where the crosspieces will go. Otherwise, you may end up being unable to attach the crosspieces with pocket screws because those screws are in the way. I found that out the hard way.

Another set of amazing and easy-to-follow instructions from BMBuilds (after i downloaded the update with the pocket holes orientations). This is my second set of instructions from you and just like the first set, this worked great. A tiny-little recommendation (maybe just from me) is to include a visual drawing on how you stacked the spacers when installing the drawer sliders. But again, i went with the instructions and they specified the space needed between them and it worked. HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!
