How Do You Build Cabinet With Sliding Glass Doors?
Building a 4-foot-wide by 6-foot-tall cabinet with two sliding glass doors to display antiques, collectibles or other items is a fairly simple task and can be less expensive than buying one. All you need is a few carpentry tools, plywood, wood stain or paint, hardware and two precut glass doors. Measure a 4-foot by 6-foot back piece for the cabinet on a sheet of plywood. Cut it out with the circular saw. Cut two 1-foot by 4-foot pieces of plywood. These are the top and bottom pieces of the cabinet. Cut two pieces of plywood that are 1 foot by 5 foot 10 1/2-inches. These will be the sides. Determine the number of shelves you want inside the cabinet and cut them out. A shelf is 11 inches by 3 foot 10 1/2-inches. Sand any rough edges off the cut pieces with the sander. Apply wood stain or paint and allow to dry. Have a local glass cut two pieces of 1/4-inch thick glass for the doors. Each door should be 2 foot wide and 5 foot 10 1/4 inches tall. Have all edges smoothed and finished. Const
