This is part two of our small wall cupboard build. If you haven’t seen part one yet then you catch up first by clicking here.
This time we’re tarting the whole thing up, attaching the face frame, shelf and the back. I certainly hope you’ll enjoy watching and if you fancy building along as well then please download our plan using the link below:

Great job guys, thanks for this one 😉
Thanks Ken, I’m really pleased you enjoyed it.
A Lot of lessons learned here. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this very good video
Cheers Dave, it’s good to know and certainly means a lot 🙂
Another successful video!
I’m pretty good at working out accents but I can’t figure out where Richard is from?
patrick, Richard is from Lincolnshire
Thanks Patrick, as Ken says it’s from the deepest depths of Lincolnshire… With a hint of tin can added from the cheap mic 😉
I thought you were from oop north but then I heard what sounded a bit scouse-like thrown into the mix and I got confused.
Keep making the videos mate!
Good stuff, thank you. I know you’ve only done a few videos so far, but it’s always nice to see another one come through my feed reader.
Hi Rudolph, many thanks. It’s quite a learning curve getting in to making the videos but were really getting in to it now. Should have plenty more on the way.
Thanks! Enjoyed the show immensely. Much appreciate the skill and efficiency demonstrated.
Will Richard be showing or discussing how these cabinets typically get hung?
Hi Scott, thanks for the encouragement! Yes I’m going to be going through hanging in the next part. With this cupboard being so little it’s nothing too fancy. Cheers, Richard
Great video Richard.
I can think of a couple bathrooms in my house that would look nice with that little cupboard. Guess I can add a few of them to my list of things to get done this year.
Keep up the great work.
Argh… That never ending list. I’ve got one of them! I think the great thing with a piece like this is it can be scaled up, or down and the proportions changed, and its still no harder to build.
Thank You! I appreciate the clearly illustrated information.
Much appreciated Ronald.
Thanks Richard for yet another very professional video,I like everything about it,the pace,the graphics,the sound track,really nice to watch. Many thanks!
Chris,
France.
Cheers Chris, if I edited it you wouldn’t be saying that, it’s Helen that does all the hard work! Oh and that link you emailed through, I spat my tea all over the lap top 😉
Brilliant. I like your version of a bit of plywood Richard.
Ha, you should see my version of a bit of wood!
Thanks Richard. You made me realise that this is all the fuss I need to make over a storage cupboard for router bits! (Yes I do use them.) But it will be a nice exercise in careful, simple handwork for its own sake. My sense of symmetry will force me to have the ship-lap joint in centred and I’ll fit a door. Nice video, well presented. Thanks again.

Thanks John, it’s nice to hear you may have some use for it. There will be a final part yet to come where I’ll be fitting a door on to this one.
Hi Richard, I really enjoy your videos and I look forward to them. Nice trick with the shoulder/rebate plane, but tell me, mine has a blade slightly wider then the tool. How should it be setup to cut rebates, because it looks like you have yours flush with the side that is against the rebate wall?
Keep up the great work!
Hi Tom, that’s a good question. Having a slightly wider iron than the body on a shoulder plane is quite normal. There are two options, you could grind the iron so that it becomes the same width but if you don’t fancy doing that then you can simply set it so the iron is flush with one side of the plane to allow you to run it against the rebate wall.
Sounds like a worth while little post so I’ll try and get something on shortly for more detail.
Probably one of the best series on the web for the beginner and yet still full of great info for anyone with a few projects under their belt. I love the editing, just enough to demonstrate the concepts and no uncomfortable mugging to the camera. I also like the way you wrapped it up without a lot of fanfare or chat. Beautiful!
I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed it and we both appreciate the great feedback.
love the whole presentation, i’m learning so much from you , i’ve only used hand tools slightly, and this is very refreshing richard, thanks you so much for the work to give us these videos…
Thanks Robert, it’s good to know that you’re learning something to get more in to your hand tools 🙂
Thanks for these videos! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them!
The UK’s own Chris Schwarz!
Looking forward to something on thicknessing by hand tools only.
I can not see how the door is hung/type of hinge used.
Hi Richard, don’t worry, you’ll just have to wait for part three for that. Trying to get it on shortly.
Richard, awesome work. I like the toenailed pins. I think I’ll employ that on my Moxon twin screw vise. Keep up the great work and videos!
every so patiently waiting for part 3.. I love how you don’t use any powertools at all 🙂
Also waiting for Part 3… Love your videos Richard.
Love the video and can’t wait for the rest (it’s been too long)! What song is playing at the end of the video? I find your choice of music for these videos very interesting – it adds some retro feel to it and turns the whole production into a work of art!
I finished putting the top, bottom, and door on the little wall cupboard. I don’t think a stain would be right so I’m going to see if I can find a milk paint in a pleasing color for it.
Loved the project. Great fun. Here’s a couple pictures of it.
Thanks again,
Mike

Great Video – clear and precise instructions. Thanks you very much. (I only have one old Stanley No.4 – which I’m about to sharpen and clean up) But seeing all those ‘neat’ gadgets/tools you used made me envious. Ha,ha. Thanks again.
Great Videos, Richard! At least the equal – or better – of the ‘video workshops’ I’ve viewed here in the States at Fine Woodworking. The number of techniques you include, and your methods used, demonstrate your great competence and experience.
Looking forward to the third segment, and many more videos afterward.
Question – that is the Veritas low-angle Jack plane, right? On pine, you are using the 25-degree blade (for 37 total) – or – if not – exactly what cutting angle are you using?
I wanted to watch the making of the mid-evil cupboard and there is no part one. they are both marked part two and so they are. So I am missing out on the first construction steps. Will you be able to fix the today or tomorrow?Thank you.

Very informative and well made videos. Thank you. Is there a part III yet?
Hi Guys,
I know its been a while since this was posted. Just wondering if there was a part 3 about hanging the door?
Cheers
Thanks so much for the video and the plans. Just a quick question. What are your suggestions for attaching the door? I’m wondering if you would do something simple like make pivot pins for the top and bottom out of nails or did you intend on using hinges. If you use hinges, what might you suggest goes with this style. Thanks again for the videos.
Great video. I am glad I found your site. I do have a question. Why did you use clenched nails for the top? Seems like a lot for the top and won’t they be visible from inside the cabinet?
Hi Richard, just wandering if there is a part 3 to this series as I can’t seem to find it. How did you attach the door and any final finishing?
Is there a part three to this build?
