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!

[@supermancc604]

Been watching for a while, and this is my favorite part. Tools are only as useful as the operator.

[@stephenhinkle6876]

@@WoodshopDiaries When I saw the ryobi circular saw and the kreig crosscut jig, it gave me a lot more hope that I could make something similar. I have those tools in the garage and really want to make one of these cabinets for our kitchen table area. It is really refreshing to see someone make beautiful cabinetry without all the festool and milwaukee everything jig/tool/etc. You deserve a lot more views. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this kind of honest video! Thank you!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

@stephenhinkle6876 I really appreciate that! Often I get complaints/critiques about the opposite-why don’t I make things harder and with more expensive tools? But this…this is exactly why I try to keep things as simple and approachable as possible. I appreciate you taking the time to leave this encouraging note and I wish you all the best in your project!

[@hankgoldenshaft]

I totally agree with you. Most DIY folks aren’t dropping thousands on tools they may only use a few times

[@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!

[@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

[@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. 🤷‍♀️

[@bfranklin1052]

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

[@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

[@MisterJ56]

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 🙂!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

My parents had to put up with me as a kid-I owe them a few nice things in return 😆 I can’t wait to show the whole space this is going into in the next video! I appreciate you watching and your kind words. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@MisterJ56]

@@WoodshopDiaries I wish more "kids" came to the understanding with the things they have to put up to living at home. Nice of you to "re-pay" your parent back in this way. Can't wait to see the whole space and ...... enjoy your parents as long as possible. And ..... they can also be proud raising a beautiful and understanding daughter!

[@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!

[@DavidLee-cw6ci]

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

[@jassbrar408]

Such a peaceful content creator and excellent craftswoman. Subscribed. God Bless you.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@jeffgriffith5594]

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.

[@stevedockery3534]

Always love your projects and how simple you make them look. I'm sure it's not that simple but still turn out beautiful. Have a great weekend Shara. Steve

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I always appreciate you watching 😊 hope you and yours have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

[@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!

[@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.

[@LavishLodgings]

WOW! You are so talented and make this build look so easy! Gives me some hope that I might be able to construct a cabinet as well! PS Love your orange helper! PPS. Love your hair! Keep it long and thanks so much for your wonderful videos!!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

[@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!

[@podcaster_emeritus]

Another great project. Love your videos. I always learn something new about the build process.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoy them! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

[@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!

[@marziorojas]

Just found your content at tiktok 2hrs ago. You now have me making numbers to get some tools and make some projects at home. Thank you for the inspiration!

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.

Nice job, Shara! Your project turned out great and, as you said, it can be used in various applications.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! It can definitely add a little extra storage to just about any room of the house. I appreciate you watching and 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.

[@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!

[@SunshineSyl]

[@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
