Instructions

1. Cut the plywood into the following pieces:

* 2 pieces 2 feet by 8 feet

* 2 pieces 1 foot by 8 feet

2. Assemble the cabinet frame by attaching the 3-foot pieces to the 2-foot pieces with wood screws. Be sure to predrill holes for the screws to prevent the wood from splitting.

3. Attach the 1-foot pieces to the front of the cabinet frame as shelves. Again, be sure to predrill holes for the screws.

4. Sand the cabinet frame and shelves to smooth out any rough edges.

5. Paint or stain the cabinet frame and shelves to your desired finish.

6. Assemble the cabinet by attaching the shelves to the frame with wood screws.

Tips

* If you want to make a larger or smaller cabinet, simply adjust the dimensions of the plywood pieces.

* You can also add additional shelves to the cabinet by cutting additional 1-foot pieces of plywood.

* To make the cabinet more sturdy, you can add support braces between the shelves.

* If you want to prevent dust from entering the cabinet, you can attach a glass door or plexiglass to the front of the cabinet.

* For a decorative touch, you can add trim or molding to the cabinet
