Wall-Hanging Cabinet
Build a refined wall hanging cabinet while learning practical casework, door construction, drawer fitting, hinge installation, and smart wall-mounted cabinet design. In this course, Marc walks you through two versions of the project, a more traditional solid-wood cabinet and a faster plywood version, giving you multiple ways to approach the build. It’s a compact project with a lot of valuable furniture-making lessons packed inside.

About the Course
The Wall Hanging Cabinet course is a compact but skill-rich project that covers the details behind building a clean, functional cabinet for the wall. This wall hanging cabinet course gives you two different approaches to the same basic idea, a traditional solid-wood version with frame-and-panel doors and more involved joinery, and a plywood version that is faster, simpler, and more approachable.
In the solid-wood build, Marc covers the process of creating a refined cabinet with dovetailed case construction, dados, a captured back, frame-and-panel doors, knife hinges, a drawer, and a French cleat for secure wall mounting. The project is small enough to be manageable, but it introduces many of the same decisions and techniques found in larger furniture builds.
The plywood version offers a more streamlined path while still producing a clean, useful cabinet. You’ll learn how to work with plywood, apply shop-made edge banding, pre-finish parts, use pocket screws where appropriate, install no-mortise hinges, build a simple drawer, add trim, and hang the cabinet securely on the wall.
Whether you choose the traditional version, the plywood version, or use both as inspiration for your own design, this wall hanging cabinet course is a great way to build confidence with small-scale casework. The finished cabinet is practical for a bathroom, shop, hallway, office, or anywhere you need attractive storage, and the techniques carry directly into many future furniture projects.
Reviews:
This was my introduction to real wood working. You think, cool… I’m going to make a neat looking cabinet that will hold some stuff. While that’s entirely true; what it’s really doing is teaching you skills. Making doors thst fit, joinery, dados, stopped dados. Each of the many skills you pick up here easily transfers to your next project. Right after this project I built a huge cabinet to store my tools in. All with the skills and confidence I picked up from making a littlr cabinet. Well worth it.
Simple but detailed project
This is an excellent project for for all skill levels, but I think anyone looking to improve their skills would find it especially fun and interesting. As woodworking projects go it has it all.. dovetails, mortise and tenon joinery, stopped dados, chisel work, doors and drawers.. and Marc does his usual excellent job of breaking it all down so it’s easy to understand and implement. The other nice thing about this project is it has a relatively low board foot requirement, so even if you use a nicer hardwood it won’t break the bank.
Maple Cabinet
Wow! This project was loaded with skill building and the end result has even veteran woodworkers slapping me on the back, “well done!”. Thanks Marc, great videos and instructions for any skill set.
