Adding the Top

Adding the cabinet top was refreshing after spending most of 2 days on the drawers. The top went on easily with a 1/4" piece of plywood framed by four 1/2" X 2" edge boards. I opted for butt joints rather than the typical mitered corners. Mitered corners never fit and seem more prone to chipping.


Besides, my hand-miter saw makes straight cuts so nice that the end grain looks great.


It's starting to look like something. Next, I need to build the cabinet door and legs.
