How to Build a Kitchen Pantry Cabinet | Larder Cupboard

[@cyndij8312]

It's stunning and so functional. And always love seeing Lou and Bub. It sounds like you're going to be sharing the whole pantry project. At least I hope so!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I will be showing the pantry build out in stages. It’s a weird layout so we’ve got to move a doorway, which requires moving a light switch. I’m hoping to attempt making it an arched doorway…we will see 😅 Then I’ll be sharing a few different parts and pieces I plan to add into it and a full reveal eventually (it’s going to be a process ha).

[@cyndij8312]

@@WoodshopDiaries I love seeing the entire process! Moving electrical and doorways, too.

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Yes! Yes! Yes! 🙃🙂

[@brewster3987]

Aw this is nice! Such a useful piece and, as is the norm around here, elegantly simple. I really like how you took some extra time for explaining some of the design subtleties and watch-outs, and the new info pop up balloons are a fun touch. Thanks for keeping it real - woodworking projects don’t always go 100% smoothly and I have to take brief breaks to blow off a little steam on most every project 🤪. But it turned out great! Looking forward to seeing it in place.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! It’s funny to watch myself throw tantrums on camera and realize how silly all of this is sometimes. Keeps things in perspective and gives me a chance to laugh at myself and remember next time-chill out. This isn’t that big of a deal 🤣 So glad you enjoyed the video and the extra little tidbits (and hopefully the pet appearances haha). I appreciate you watching and hope you have an amazing weekend!

[@Dementian91]

Bub being in the way is honestly the best part of the video. ❤

[@KissMyFrog42]

What did cats do for fun before video cameras were invented? My friends and I have a weekly zoom call, and the mantra has become "if it's cat-butt, it must be Thursday". Excellent and useful video, as always. I'm teaching myself to build cabinets so I can have a custom kitchen without breaking the bank. Your videos are among my favourites, so clear and concise.

[@ryobiguydiy]

Another awesome build! I just finished building the modern bookcase with the drawer. It’s good to see that I’m not the only one who has a meltdown during a project.🤣🤣🤣

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I have far more meltdowns than I’d prefer to have 🤣 but it upsets the dog, so I try to keep it together most of the time for her 🙈 In all honesty, watching it back always makes me laugh because I realize how petty and silly these things are. Like chill-it’s not that big of a deal 🤣 anyway…here’s to fewer meltdowns on our future builds 🤪

[@robertkerby2581]

Wow, I absolutely love your design and build of this Pantry Cabinet! Well-done!

[@mikeandlucky]

I love Saturday mornings when you put out a new video :). As always, I appreciate your practical, affordable projects that can be completed with basic tools and the available plans.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Awww thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos and projects 💕 I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Shara! It turned out great! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

[@ziad3538]

I like the contrast between the outside and inside color! Thanks for the amazing projects with such kind of simplicity ✨✨

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Very nice pantry cabinet! I really like the shelves you added on the inside of the doors. That’s a really nice way to use more of the space. Glad that Bub approved and Lou was willing to help you while it was raining! lol… They’re both precious! Have a great weekend Shara and keep on building!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I’ve wanted to build one of these for years and I’m so glad to see it finally “come to life.” Bubs and Lou were vital to this project’s success 😆 I’m glad they were willing to help on it! I really appreciate you watching and I hope you have a great weekend as well! 😎

[@johnford7847]

Your design and build skills amaze me. I am equally amazed that you can have such a nice storage piece in your shop and NOT fill it with tools, scraps too good to throw away, and the other things that seem to breed in my shop! LOL! Good video, Shara. Thank you for sharing.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha thank you! But it’s only been finished in my shop for a couple days-so it may end up full of shop stuff before we ever get it moved inside 🙈 I really appreciate you watching and I hope you have a great weekend! 😎

[@davidguinta4550]

Amazing Shara! Another fine job...with the help of Bubs!

[@TalonWoodFL]

🤣 I just made this almost exact design as a built-in three weeks ago! I used 4/4 poplar that I planed down to 7/8" for the shelves because of my 'over engineering ocd', but otherwise just like it. Yours looks better, great job.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Great minds think alike 😉😆 I bet yours looks amazing 🙌

[@sooome9294]

Love the idea, that can be used in many areas. For me, I need to have drawers on the top as well for easier access to items in the back. ❤

[@WoodshopDiaries]

The great thing about this is that you can easily customize it to have drawers as high as you’d like them 🙌

[@jodyreed2932]

You were reading my mind. I have been wanting to move my fridge and build a pantry there. Thanks

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I hope this gave you some inspiration and ideas!! Happy building!

[@dustwrites]

I just purchased your cabinet-building pack, and I'm loving it. It's such an awesome resource. Thanks for sharing!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! Thanks so much for your purchase and support of my small business! 💕 happy building!

[@guybowers9094]

Very nice pantry cabinet. I'm glad I got to see this build as I'm going to build one similar but for storage in the garage

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! This would be a great addition to the garage, too! Happy building 🔨

[@keninthekitchen1562]

Apparently Bug needed all of your attentions lol Great video, I was searching for something like this but here you are, saving my sanity!

[@SyPhoto]

This may sound silly, but I feel like you are my PERSONAL woodworking KZbinr. Literally EVERY video you make comes MOMENTS after I have an idea about building something similar. I was just thinking...."hmm, I need to build a nice cabinet to store all my photography gear." I hop on KZbin (just for some ideas) and BOOM 12hr ago. TWELVE HOURS!!! I won't reveal what my next idea is, as I am CERTAIN if what has happened before continues. I have nothing to worry about. happy building.

[@cabinettalk8399]

Great Project! You explained it very well and I appreciate that you used tools that any DIYer would likely own.

[@stevedockery3534]

OMG.....What a brilliant idea. I love this cabinet. What a great job Shara. This will absolutely be one of my next projects. I've been waiting for a great idea to redo my wacky pantry. YOU ARE THE GREATEST. Thanks a lot. Have a great weekend Shara. Steve

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I hope it inspires you for your own project. It sounds like we both have a wacky pantry that needs improving 😆 have a wonderful weekend as well and thank you again for watching!

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

Beautiful pantry/larder. A larder can also be an entire room for food storage.

Hello Sara, I'm in Brazil and I appreciate your work and your projects

Hi! Thank you so much for watching! Have a great weekend!

[@jamescoutre6285]

Another awesome step by step video. I have to build two closet pull out shelves that will function like a pull out pantry shelf, and this video gave me great tips. Thank you so much.

Yay, a new video. New subscriber and I have been enjoying these builds, this one in particular. It is exactly what I want/need for my new home. Now I just need to get my shop set up.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much for watching and following along! I hope you find the videos helpful 🔨 happy building!

[@ianpearse4480]

Fantastic share. Thank you. I like it that you explain the wobbles. We all have them, especially me. LOL.

I wanted to say thank you for the video. Watching this not only was it raining, but it looks like it was pretty hot. So, thank you for working through it.

[@timothycreasy2161]

That is a nice pantry cabinet. The pull out drawers are a good idea in a on. Bubby and Lucy are still hanging with you in the shop... Thanks for sharing

[@cliff5240]

Great job as always! Love how curious your shop helper is in these videos.

[@nicholem4831]

Thank you for including your “tantrum” which was quite mild by way of tantrums go 😉 lol! I definitely have sympathy for your struggles but it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who gets frustrated and swears/yells/throws something when it feels like everything is going wrong all at once 😂

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha well the audio was off-that made it less intense 🤣 but, no, you’re definitely not the only one! Mine seem to always happen when there’s glue involved. It’s on my hands, it’s on the clamps, it’s on the floor and the workbench and everywhere I don’t want it to be. And there’s a limited time to get things where you need them before it’s too late. 🙈 I can’t handle it 🤣

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Shara, we've been dealing with a non-function pantry since we moved into this house (5+ years) so this project like others has our brain spinning. You'll know we've started when you see us purchasing the plans. We love your project and the outcome even if you find the sheen a bit off. Much love to Bubbs and Lucy. Hope you have a great weekend! You have us feeling inspired. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂

[@WoodshopDiaries]

We’ve been dealing with a very poorly designed pantry since we moved into our house 3 years ago, too! Seems like a common issue 😅 I hope this gave you some ideas for your own redesign! Good luck with the project 🙌 Bubs and Lou say hi! We appreciate you watching and hope you enjoy your weekend!

[@WolfCatBirdPigMan]

god I love this channel. I literally watch everything you've put out! Your drawer building guide is top notch and this one is no different. Thanks for your insanely high quality content Shara!

[@johnkelley9877]

The cabinet looks great. Very well designed and built. I was impressed with how good Bubby is at getting into the camera shot. His timing is amazing. Thanks for making and sharing this as I could see this was a lot of work making the tutorial.

[@tristanluc7008]

Every time, i watch your video. Always admired how you used pocket hole screw without any clamps

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great build. A pantry is on my list of projects. Lots before I get to it. But I love getting idea.s

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I hope this gives you some inspiration! Happy building and have a great weekend!

[@imienazwisko8347]

I still love your work. Everything is so accurate, perfect measured and looks awesome.

[@lapingadeldifunto2798]

Beautiful like all you do thanks for your time

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you watching!

[@SawdustmakerLori]

This was an awesome build and I'm looking forward to seeing how you do the whole pantry!!! It's a shame you don't like the paint sheen as I know you dislike painting to begin with. It shouldn't take long to repaint it though. Looks like you had tons of help from Lucy and Bubby. I would love to have a cat like Bubs. He seems so loving and always wants to be near whatever you're doing. Thanks for another great project!!!

[@createful_heart]

This would definitely be my snack cabinet. I went to Costco today and got some steak strips, Chomps, and macadamia milk chocolate salted caramel clusters. 🥰🥰

[@DonaldSmith1]

Wow, great job. Love all the space the cabinet has. Doors can be used for spices that have little weight. Thanks for all your projects.

[@jimgreenhouse214]

You are a beautiful and very talented maker. Keep up the fantastic projects.

[@avivat3010]

Another great post and design, Shara. It's great to see the subscriber numbers have grown. Your teaching and building skills are amazing. Wish I had a shop like yours! You've earned it, for sure. I hope the pantry build goes easily. Take care.

[@Newsolution8876]

This is awesome 🧡 and a great idea 💡

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@tinaedwards7044]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful builds. I am in the process of renovating my pantry soon. Love this cabinet.

[@susinok]

Inhale one counter cabinet in my laundry room and a 1x10 shelf. I want to make a tall cabinet like this one, and a row of cabinets across the top of the machines. I look forward to seeing yout builds.

[@Goosefang]

This is so funny. I missed this video 2 weeks ago (busy and lots of subscriptions to keep up with). Finally getting to watch it and you are wearing the same Red Cross shirt that I just brought in from my car, that I had apparently forgotten about 😅😬

[@squeekhobby4571]

Wonderful craftsmanship

[@suep4999]

If you’re filling that with snacks I’m headed over - you’ve been warned!!! It’s a gorgeous pantry!

[@redknightmajor8679]

Looks Great as usual. It's actually what I'm planning on building for my kitchen. I actually like building doors :)

[@iwantosavemoney]

Prepper pantry for us is what we called ours we use ours for long term food storage and bulk storage and restocking and bulk paper products and are hba products in the one next to it 😊

[@aligned4good]

Beautiful Build! Thank you!

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 🙌

omg I was just looking for this, I was searching your channel if you have made such thing glad you now did YAYAYYYYY

you conquerd, (knew you would). I like the simplicity of it. thanx

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you for cheering me one! 🙌 have a great weekend!

[@gregmgm06]

You must feel good about making something that nice. We need something like that for our new house, now I see how much time and effort goes into it.

[@DPelicanGaming]

i built ur dresser last christmas, i split the top set of drawers into x4 for socks and such, works great

[@shanaproctor100]

What a great build!

[@oreobenavidez953]

I always imagine you flying up every time you flip the built you created cause they're so huge for your size lol but as always that's amazing 😊 I was waiting like bubs to get his ears scratch he was deeply staring at your hand 😂

[@mattsb5196]

awesome! I need to try making one just like it.

I wish I had a space where I can scream and throw a temper tantrum! I also wish a DIY door would be my reason for screaming 🤭 Watching this curled up with my 2 cats, trying to temporarily forget the stressful things in life

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha our neighbors probably don’t love it 🤣 but it’s doesn’t happen a lot ha. Enjoy some stress free time with your cats-pets are good at helping you forget your troubles. 💕

[@jhold7553]

Thought maybe Larder was autoincorrect "Larger". This is awesome, I wish I had room for something like this

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I was trying to differentiate it from the pantry cabinet I built a few months ago since it’s similar but different 🙈 “Larder” cabinets kept coming up in my searches, so I went with it haha. Apparently back in the day, they’d cover their meat with lard and store it in cabinets similar to this to help preserve it, I guess 🤷‍♀️ so that’s where “larder” cabinet came in. Anyway-it’s a pantry 😂 I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

[@Goosefang]

Love the Bubs! 🐈

[@alexbell1478]

Beautiful work as always! I love your videos. Have you shown how to create a micro shaker cabinet door? I love that look

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! Thanks so much! To make those, it would be the same as a slab door except instead of iron on edge banding, you’d just use some thin wood strips about 7/8”-1” wide to trim the outside edges. The thing about those is that makes your door 7/8”-1” (whatever your trim is) thick so you’d have to make sure you get hinges that will work with that thickness door.

[@whylawhy]

I love your cat!

[@Joshua.zero29]

2:24 Lesgo, the weekly Bub footage! ❤ 5:44 Okay, now we've gotten a Bub overload, especially since it's Lucy's turn. 6:48 See what I mean? 😂😂😂 8:43 Sometimes, that helps.❤ 9:00 There she is! 11:53 Okay, math... oh look, Bub is modelling. 14:01 I retract my previous statement about a "Bub overload" since that is proven false here. Thats impossible. 15:18 Oh, thats clever! Awesome idea that'll come in handy for many projects to come. What an awesome project for storage! It looks so clean and easily replicated for tons of additional room. Much easier than ripping into walls. Thanks for an awesome episode, Shara!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha Bubs likes to be in the way and Lou usually stays just out of the way. So Bubs naturally gets more camera time 🤣 Lucy, in all honesty, is a much better helper 😆 I’m so glad you enjoyed the build and the video! I really appreciate you following along and watching my crazy projects. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend 😎

BUBBY!!! 🥰🐈🥰

[@WoodshopDiaries]

He’s the real star of the show 😉

[@miamomia1]

14:03 For a very long time I thought the cat's name was Bug and have been trying to guess why. 😂

[@WoodshopDiaries]

His official name is Bubby. But he has a lot of nicknames for no reason: Bug, Bubs, Mr Bear, Mr Boo, Boogie Boo, Boogie, Shoogs, Shooga Boog…the list goes on 🤣

[@kimleeparkfamily428]

बहुत ही सुन्दर है, आप मेरी प्रेरणा हैं 😊

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You’re so kind. Thank you so much for watching!

[@dianes2300]

This is awesome! Question - would it have been better to use a 1x1 (something solid) to mount the drawer slides so you have a lot more meat to handle the weight of the drawers, especially once they're filled? 🤔 I plan to build 4 of these across the back wall of a room since my house has no storage. Seeing it come together is a huge help!!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! You could do it that way, too. But these braces can easily hold the weight capacity of the drawer slide. At the end of the day, the slides are rated for 100 lbs. so the bracing only has to be able to hold 100 lbs (and that’s distributed weight). So I’m not concerned. BUT, if you wanted to use thicker pieces, you can. Happy building!

[@ShanePresleyC]

Thanks for keeping it real and including the screaming and "tantrum". It can be very demotivating watching KZbin, where everything goes smooth time after time, and you're left wondering why nothing works when you give it go.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Glue ups are always stressful. Sometimes a little meltdown is part of the process 🙈🤣

[@chipperkeithmgb]

Always called it a larder food storage

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I might be the only person who had never heard of the term before 🙈😆

[@felixreali7101]

Shara, how did you manage to keep a straight face when your cat was in front of the camera while you were talking???? 😂😂

[@gudrune]

You're pretty, feminine, and you can build stuff. I am in awe, didn't know ladies like you existed :D

[@annanolan9916]

I love the way this turned out - I'm trying to build a kitchen pantry that maximizes my space, where the width is 56 inches. What would you recommend doing?

[@giuliaciulia89]

I hate the doors too cuz no matter how many times I measure them they always seem to have 1-2mm off, grrrrrrr XD thank goodness the hinges allow to adjust that

[@doriangray7006]

bella...❤

[@guyflagg1412]

I love your videos. You are very talented and I have learned a lot from you. I am thinking about buying a biscuit joiner, what do you think? Guy

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I appreciate your kind words! I don’t have a biscuit joiner, so I don’t really have any thoughts to share on the topic.

[@mattbibeault843]

Nice build. Thanks for being a blood donor.

[@MasihPanahi-g9c]

😍😍

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed it! Have a great weekend!

[@SarahTemperance]

How much did you spend on the materials for the pantry? I’m thinking of making one similar but for a coffee bar!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! I didn’t add it all up for this specific build (I buy my materials in bulk and just use what I need as I need it for projects). However, lumber prices vary greatly by location and change daily so whatever it cost me likely won’t match what it would cost someone else across the country. So I’ve included the materials list in the video description so that you can check local prices for these things and get an accurate estimate for you to build it in your area. 😊

[@winfredmugure3457]

Wooooooooow
