I'm building a two-drawer wood file cabinet. Does anyone know where I could find some basic plans? They don't need to be very detailed; just looking for dimensions and general construction methods that have worked. I'm planning to make the main box out of 1/2" solid oak, not plywood.
I did a quick search and didn't find anything already posted. Brand new to forum, first post here, so please go easy on me if I broke any rules.

Well, there are likely plans online from a number of sources, but I subscribe to Woodsmith and also have their 11-season video set, so the episode should be present in one of those seasons. The Woodsmith plans for a 'modular' file cabinet set can be purchased HERE for $10 - the video is likely also available - good luck! Dave

TOMMY MACK BUILT A CABINET USING PARTS FROM A METAL CABINET. YOU COULD BUILD THE CABINET TO FIT THE STRUCTURE AND REPLACE THE DRAWER HARDWARE WITH WOOD.

Yep, and apparently the spam filter is improving and killing the reply with the link to the 10,001+odd plans. Time to thank the forum hosts for the improvement.
I tried not believing. That did not work, so now I just believe
