Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum, but have been reading older posts for a project I will be taking on for my garage. I would like to build a set of cabinets along the entire wall of my garage as pictured below. My plan is to use melamine from a Lumber Yard, which is better quality than the big box stuff. I was thinking 3/4" melamine carcass, 1/4" melamine backing with 3/4" pine cleats top and bottom, and 3/4" MDF painted for the doors. The cabinets will not be on the ground and will have metal legs which is not pictured, to prevent any moisture damage. They will also be screwed onto the wall. Do you think using butt joints with RooGlue clear and Confirmat screws will be good for what I'm doing? Should I rabbet the 3/4" melamine to make the backing flush or just screw them through the entire back portion? My goal is to keep costs down and prevent having to paint the entire insides of the cabinets which is why I would like to avoid plywood.
3 x Pantry Cabinets: 84"H x 30"W x 24"D
3 x Base Cabinets: 36"H x 24"W x 24"D
3 x Wall Cabinets: 18"H x 24"W x 18"D
1 x Above Fridge Cabinet: 18"W x 33"W x 24"D
8 x Top-shelf Wall Cabinets: 24"H x ?W x 24"D - Would like the inside of the cabinets open to be able to store longer items. Was thinking about dividing into two sections.
