Everything Begins with a Box
Underneath all the fancy trim and decoration of most furniture is a surprisingly simple structure—a box. Although a box might vary in shape and form depending on the piece (solid wood box vs carcass & frame), building the inner structure of a project is an easy process to learn.
In this section from my How to Build Anything series, I'll show you step by step how to build the most common inner structures used in woodworking: solid wood box, carcass, frame & panels. With these techniques you can easily mix & match or combine the methods to create just about any wood project you can imagine!
I've also included step-by-step instructions for building a basic cabinet with hinged doors (using carcass and frame construction).
