How to Build a Simple Pantry Cabinet with Pull Out Shelves

[@cmbgrimes]

Great video! Love the orange "helper" inspecting everything.

[@aliroumie3775]

You did the whole thing with no second hand help. That's impressive and while at it, your channel is awesome!

[@Mega_vegeta]

the cat was helping

[@T_Jonesy]

I love that you build everything using simple prosumer tools that you can purchase at any local big box store. No lime green anywhere. You don't need to spend a fortune to get accuracy and a quality looking build. Cheers!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

A lot of people like to tell me I need "better" tools, but honestly, I use the tools I do on purpose just to prove expensive tools aren't required to build nice things. Patience and determination have far more benefits than a $300 drill 😆 Anyway, I truly appreciate you watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@TooManyProjectsWorkshop]

I'm forever impressed by your ability to just hold panels in place when driving in pocket hole screws. Mine shift around unless I've secured them with at least 150 clamps.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I know everyone works and experiences things differently, but I have more trouble using clamps than I do not using clamps in most assembly cases. There’s nothing wrong with either way, but it’s just funny how different things work for different people. 🤷‍♀️

[@DavidLee-cw6ci]

I love how clean the things you make look, it's a great style

[@stephenwilliams4118]

I'm constantly amazed at the simplicity of your projects and the beautiful completion. I can see where several applications of this project can be used in my home although the cabinet is not something I need. I always pick up a few tricks when I watch your videos and use them elsewhere. I have purchased plans from you and those projects turned out to be easy , fun and accurate. Thank you always Shara

[@YatanveerSingh]

Hi Sara, I have followed your video and the document and was able to make 3 cabinets for my garage and 1 shoe rack. Not sure if I can post pictures. My family loves it, friends are surprised. I followed step by step whatever you said. The dimensions were 100% correct. Thank you Yatan

[@SawdustmakerLori]

That will be the fanciest garage cabinet in your parent's neighborhood! It turned out SO nice.......probably because of all the help you had from Bubby. He was definitely wanting to be near you today. Thanks for another great video!!!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I can't wait to show it in its place in the next video! Bubs was definitely a lot of help haha. He put his stamp of approval on it, so I knew it was good to go! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Nice work! Better safe than sorry with the shelf thickness. I need to make one for my daughters house. She has no pantry in her tiny kitchen! Thanks for this video.

[@markwood5382]

As usual looks very nice, the cabinet too. I loved your offset vanity and had to show it to my wife and she agreed, maybe the most beautiful vanity I have ever seen.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I finally got that vanity installed last week and I'm finishing up the trim work in the bathroom this weekend. I'll have to share it in a KZbin short video (I didn't film the remodel) soon so you can see it in its final space!

[@mistygeller3193]

Thank you thank you… I have been searching for a diy build exactly like this!!! You rock! I just love your designs and explanation of how to do these projects yourself instead of hiring it out or having to overspend for junk!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I’m so happy this is helpful! Someone over on Instagram asked for a price comparison for how this compares to a prebuilt one and a similar but smaller cabinet was $1800 (plus shipping!) and the lumber for this was about $300. So a huge savings plus it’s bigger plus it’s custom. It’s a great project to DIY. Happy building and thank you so much for watching. Have a great rest of your weekend!

[@bfranklin1052]

Love the pull-out drawers. I'm retro-fitting an existing old kitchen cabinet b4 a full reno. Thanks so much!

[@jamescoutre6285]

I love your videos. They are si much easier to follow and more organized han other channels. And I just bought all the jigs you use to help me make a pantry cabinet.

[@guybowers9094]

I'm in the process of updating our garage and making it a more useful space for the wife as she is always in need of a little extra storage. I'm going to build a tall storage cabinet similar to yours, and I will include the pull out shelves. I like that addition

[@WoodshopDiaries]

That sounds like a great project. Extra storage is always a nice addition--and I'm sure your wife will love that you built it for her! Thanks so much for watching and happy building!

[@johnkelley9877]

The cabinet looks great and I like the gray color. All of your work is very well made and looks good. Thanks for this latest tutorial.

I envy your parents by having such a nice piece (again) in their garage .......... must be forbidden to hide such great stuff. Well done Shara and ........ I wasn't expecting something less coming out of your workshop (aka "hands") ........ nice color too! Have a nice weekend and greetings from the Netherlands 🙂!

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Shara, this is a very nice project and a practical one that I’m sure your parents will enjoy! The color and the upper doors turned out great! I like the idea of the gas struts too! Bubby made a great appearance and was just trying to help! lol…. Have a great weekend and keep on building!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I think if I hadn’t made it the full 8’ tall, the gas struts would have worked fine. But…whoops! It was good practice installing them anyway haha. I’m sure I’ll find a use for them in a future project. Bubs always has to make his presence known 🤣 he will be in the next one too 🙈 I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well and I appreciate you watching!

Thank you for showing your mistakes as well as your successes. It’s helpful to see that it *does* happen, but also how to turn it into a success. Thanks for another truly helpful video!

[@brewster3987]

Okay, got my Saturday morning Woodshop Diaries fix. All is right with the world again 😊. Love this back-to-basics classic Shara build! One thing I'll point out to us who are watching (and you probably know it already)... Shara downplays her attention to dimension details; things like the precise sliding of the pull-out shelves and the fit and finish of the doors do not happen without some careful work on her part. Well done. Looking forward to seeing the whole picture! And thanks for being a donor. One more thing... 9:07 you know he did that on purpose, right?😂

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha I always appreciate you watching! I can’t wait to share the whole garage update in the next video-Bubs makes his appearance in that one too 🤣 I’ve come to the conclusion Bubs is far smarter than we give him credit for. He does nothing unplanned. It’s all a calculated move to see how far he can push his limits 😆 Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@vllbv]

I really love when you show us the problems or mistakes during the project, it's so honest and humam. Change the subject: how the painting surface looks closely? When I paint (I don't have an air compressor), I can't made a smooth effect.

[@ronnorris1504]

Wonderful project Shara, love the color you chose. For me i would love to keep the flip up top door. So glad to see you back!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

The flip up top was awesome. I think if I had just made the cabinet a little shorter, it would have worked fine. Or maybe if I was a little taller it might have been fine, too 🤣 but I think for my parents and this particular cabinet, the double doors were probably a better option. I’ll definitely have to save the hardware to try it again in another build!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I like that you did a mixture of pull out shelves and adjustable shelves. The end result looks good and well made. I also think your cat coming in to say "Hi!" to you repeatedly was both cute and funny.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the mix and match style :) Bubby (the cat) was a lot of help for this project--I was glad to have his company throughout haha. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@rachelletovar7876]

This is incredible. I have looked for something that would work in my space, but nothing in the big box stores would work. I think I am going to try it. It might end up being a $$ mistake or save me $$$$$$$ in something that is quite right. Thanks for the inspiration and explanations.

[@scottmorris4914]

That a nice pantry cabinet, and a really nice garage cabinet. Parents are lucky. For the top cabinet are, I think the lift up may have still worked because that area is still pretty. Not sure how tall you are, but to get into that area may still require a step stool. It’s pretty tall. Took the doors off to make painting them easier. Yep, anything to make painting easier, huh. That’s a great build.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

My parents put up with me all those years. I assume it's my reasonable service to pay them back here and there haha. I can't wait to show the whole garage update in the next video. And yes, you know me--anything to make painting easier 🙈😂 I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great rest of your weekend!

Background "noises" are just normal shop sounds. They put us in the shop with you. I love how Bubby just had to supervise this project, making sure you did everything correctly. Now... what is with the red bandage? Thanks for another great shop project.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I try to keep in some of the noises-I think they’re fun! But for some reason, lately, my editor makes some of my audio sound like it’s barely there. Then I upload to YT and it’s so much louder than it sounded in edits. I couldn’t hear my shop radio playing in the editor but I definitely can once it was uploaded 🙈 maybe it’s just my ears ha! Anyway, Bubs always has to be involved. He’s great company but kind of a micro manager 😆 The bandage was from giving blood. I gave right before I filmed the finished shots so I still had my bandage on

[@brunnie]

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Shara, I've been eyeing a spot in my shop to capture and store some of my clutter. I think this cabinet would be perfect. I'll probably be buying your plans as soon as I get a couple of other things done around here. Weather here is constantly changing so the only way I've found to deal with that is to have multiple projects going, some indoors and some out. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Give Bubbs and Lucy hugs from us. They crack me up! Thanks for Sharing! 🙂🙃

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Weather here is crazy too--I keep thinking this too shall pass, but I'm not looking forward to that summer heat settling in for the next few months haha. That sounds like a great idea to have multiple indoor and outdoor projects while the weather figures itself out. Bubs and Lou say hi back! I hope you and yours have a wonderful rest of the weekend. Happy building!

[@robertorguez8148]

I love it! the color and everything, i still afraid of painting furniture with a roller, but yours look so great..

I'm always impressed at what you can build with so few tools. Nice job! My only question is, why no bottom pull out shelf? Seems like a perfect spot for one.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

This is for my parents garage and they intentionally wanted to use this bottom shelf for large bulky items. Just a personal preference.

[@HeliRy]

Awesome job, that came out really well! And I’m envious of the amount of workspace you’ve got too. My goofy shop is about 7’x25’ with a section of one long wall cutting in to about 5’ at the middle. There’s a wood burning stove on the other side of that wall so it juts out for the chimney, makes my shop literally shaped like a banana 😂
