I bought a big piece of wood and cut it in piece. After cut it I marked down a mark in the back side of each piece. This way I will always know wish side I'm working on.

As my major projects, I used wooden pins to get it together.

To create the feet I used a beam, and cut it in four pieces on 10 cm. Them I rounded the edges and the bottom.

To assemble it I drill two holes in each foot and on the bottom piece (of cabinet)

Doors

This cabinet have two sliding doors. So I made the rails (bottom and top (wish is a shelf)) with the router.

Them, cut the top and bottom of the door, and left 1cm to fit on the rails.

Door Texture

To finish it, sand it, sand it, sand it.

Assemble all piece together. For the cabinet back I used a 5mm panel with very small nails.

Then I applied the finish, I choose cherry varnish and I loved the result.
