Built this over the longest ‘weekend project’ ever. Finally finished my first set of built-ins in my home!

I've done plenty of DIY projects before, including flooring, replacing windows, trim work, painting, and drywall, but this was my first time building cabinets. There are definitely flaws in the work, but it was a big leap into woodworking and I’m proud of how it turned out. The project took me about a year of on-and-off progress to complete. I learned a lot through YouTube tutorials, which gave me the confidence to take this on. I struggled with the doors and drawer faces, made a few failed attempts, and eventually outsourced those to a local company before painting and installing them. This built-in was much needed for extra storage in our increasingly crowded home and helped upgrade the living room space in a big way. submitted by /u/Blazer127 [link] [comments]
