Hi Guys,
I need to make some upper utility cabinets and a pantry type cabinet for a nook going out to my garage. It will store pantry items, excess cookware and general junk. The upper cabinets I intend to use french cleats to hols them up. The pantry cabinet will be 24 wide X 24" deep, the upper 18 wide X 15" deep X 42" high.
The price of plywood has gone crazy as we all know. So, Is it better to build from 3/4 or 1/2 plywood? The price difference is about $50 for Baltic birch ($169- 3/4" & $106 - 1/2") and $32 for birch ($92 -3/4) and $60 - 1/2". The inside I will clear coat and the frame will be painted.
Thanks for the feedback.
Happy Holiday's.
Mike
