Additional Photos [3] [4] [5] [6] Remember when we made this 36" corner base cabinet? [7] Page 3 of 23
After building it, the Ram and I both agreed, we need to check into Overbuilder's Rehab... seriously, we got issues. I've seen corner cabinets with cardboard tacked to the back that worked out just fine. Now putting 3/4" plywood on the back of a corner cabinet could be a really good idea if the cabinet was for example the start of a peninsula, the end of a row of cabinets, or you were placing a very heavy countertop on top. But for our purposes, we could have gotten away with a lesser cabinet. So now that we (and by we of course I mean the Ram and Grandpa Tim - I'm still home with baby) are starting work on the other side of the Momplex, first up is a 36" base corner kitchen cabinet. And this time, we simplified. Page 4 of 23

Grandma who likes to sew really loves her lazy susan, [7] so we went ahead and kept that for the shelving inside the cabinet. But inside is a little different. The tops and bottoms are both made of finished plywood (see step 1 on how to get all the 3/4" plywood pieces on one sheet of plywood). Page 6 of 23

And the back is 1/4" plywood - to match the rest of the cabinets. Check out the plans for this easier to build 36" base kitchen corner cabinet below, and also the original plans here. [7] Page 8 of 23

And also a base cabinet building tutorial by the man himself: Thanks so much for reading - hope you find this plan useful!

General Instructions: Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck! Step 1 [27] You can get all the pieces cut from a single sheet of plywood if you are careful. I'd cut the bottom off first for the two sides at 34-1/2", and then cut the two side out of the remaining pieces. You'll have to use your jigsaw to cut the toekicks and inside corner of the top and bottom. See Page 14 of 23
step 2 and 3 for sizes on the top, bottom and sides. Step 2 [28] The back corner of the top and bottom needs to be notched out for the back supports. We used the scrap piece of plywood from ripping the sides (about 3-1/2" wide) for these pieces, but you could also use 1x4 boards. Notch out with a jigsaw to fit the boards. Step 3 Page 15 of 23
[29] TIP: Before assembly, drill 3/4" pocket holes on outsides of sides, top and bottom for attaching face frame in later steps. Attach top and bottom to sides, leaving a 5" gap underneath bottom shelves. Step 4 Page 16 of 23
[30] Attach back to the top and bottom, leaving a 5" gap underneath bottom shelf. Step 5 Page 17 of 23
[31] Attach bottom supports to base. Step 6 Page 18 of 23
[32] Attach 1/4" plywood to back with finish nails and glue - we use 3/4" finish nails. Step 7 Page 19 of 23
[33] Build the face frame separately, and then attach to front of cabinet. Note that the face frame overextends the sides of the cabinet by 1/4". Step 8 Page 20 of 23
[34] We used full overlay doors - here's the sizes we ordered. Finishing InstructionsPreparation Instructions: Fill all holes with wood filler and let dry. Apply additional coats of wood filler as needed. When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth. It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
