Hello!

Just came from wilcon and purchased wood for a 6ft X 4 ft X 70cm depth cabinet for my sister's clothes. She wants it simple. Two hanger rods. one on top and one below.

I (without proper planning and thinking) just gung ho bought 2x2 wood, a few 1/4 plyboard and 1/2 plyboard, and a few 1x3s for the doors.

Based on my first mortise and tenon joints for my dining table before, the joints wern't perfect. I'm hesitant to attempt it again without a router or that mortise and tenon jig i once saw on youtube.

Any advice on what other joints i could do for the skeleton of the cabinet? Will butt joints work with the daily open and closing of the cabinet?

I also asked my uncle to balikbayan a kreg master jig. Should be here soon. I dont know if it will work on 2x2s or how to approach it to use it in this project.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks!
Drew

How are you going to cut the wood?

Kreg will work but you need to have the proper lenght screws.
