Materials:
- (2x) 2 x 4 x 8′

Supplies:
Cut List:
- (2x) 2 x 4 x 18″
- (2x) 2 x 4 x 21″
Step 1:
Cut your 2 x 4’s to length. For my particular cabinet, I needed a base measuring 31 x 21″ so I cut two pieces at 31″ and two pieces at 18″. The shorter pieces fit between the longer pieces so that the total area is 31 x 21″.
Step 2:
Use corner clamps to glue and screw the pieces together.
Step 3:
Remove the baseboard and attach the base cabinet to the studs in the wall.
That’s it for the base! Super easy. I also made a YouTube tutorial that you can find HERE.
Next week I’ll build the cabinet box! Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it!
Until then, happy DIY-ing!
