- Welcome back! This video guides you through the step-by-step process of building a compact yet spacious pantry, perfect for small kitchens but adaptable to any space. Ideal for storing a wide variety of items such as spices, herbs, and condiments, this pantry is both practical and stylish. This project uses a mix of half-inch and three-quarter inch plywood as well as solid cherry for the top and trim. For those interested in tackling this project, a complete set of building plans is available for purchase at shopwwmm.com/products/space-s... .
Some of the practical skills, techniques, and considerations you can learn from the video:
• Design Consideration for Small Spaces: The project focuses on creating a pantry that maximizes storage in a limited kitchen area, showcasing design strategies for small spaces.
• Material Selection: The video demonstrates the choice of materials, such as plywood for the main structure and solid cherry lumber for trims, balancing cost, durability, and aesthetics.
• Precision in Measurements: The importance of precise measurements and adjustments, especially when dealing with materials like plywood that may not perfectly align with nominal sizes.
• Efficient Use of Hardware: The selection and installation of hardware, such as piano hinges for the doors, are covered, showing how to ensure functionality and ease of use.
• Pre-Assembly Painting Tips: The advantage of pre-painting parts of the pantry before assembly to avoid difficulties with painting in tight spaces later on.
• Jig Usage for Consistency: The video highlights the use of jigs, like the Kreg shelf pin drilling jig, to ensure consistent and precise placements for adjustable shelving.
• Trim Work for Aesthetic and Function: How trim work not only enhances the visual appeal but also serves functional purposes, such as covering exposed plywood edges.
• Shelving Adjustability: The construction of adjustable shelving within the pantry is showcased, offering flexibility in storage options.
• Door Installation Techniques: Viewers learn a practical approach to installing doors using piano hinges, including tips to ensure smooth operation and proper alignment.
• Final Assembly and Finishing Touches: The video concludes with the final assembly of the pantry, including attaching doors, applying final paint coats, and adding handles or knobs, highlighting the steps to bring the project to completion.

The godfather of practical, useful woodworking videos is still making awesome project videos. Well done, Steve! You are a national treasure. 👍🏼
Well thank you! 😊
An international treasure! Great work Steve.👍
@@mauricecasey866 yupp, greetings from Hungary! I've been watching Steve for more than a decade.
Hold on, I think Steve is great and all, but has he ever stolen the Declaration of Independence to see the hidden map on the back side? I must have missed that video.
He did and then made a video showing the half lap picture frame he built. 😅
I love watching other CZcams creators build amazing river tables and complicated designs, but your videos are the ones I save because they're practical, approachable, and fun.
I really appreciate how you explain and demonstrate safety. Thank-you, Steve.
You're welcome! And thanks for watching.
Simply the best wood working channel.
This is a really lovely piece! I'm a huge fan of painted pieces that feature wood accents. It's an underutilized technique in furniture building but the results are beautiful.
I build a lot of pieces in this style and here are a few tips that I've found improved the quality of my work:
1. Using carpenters putty dramatically improves the paint finish. I use the pink stuff that dries white - not the gritty "stainable wood finish". By the time I'm done applying the putty to all the pieces, the pieces I started with are ready for a quick sand, after which, the results are smooth.
2. Using a paint sprayer. Done correctly, a piece that's sprayed has a much nicer, even finish (be sure to follow the directions for thinning the paint). Plus, it's so much faster to apply. I use a mid-grade Wagner I picked at a Big Box, but Harbor Freight sells a house brand knock off for $50. You can also use it to apply stains and finishes.
Wheels!! I want wheels. That way it can move to any spot in the kitchen. Absolutely perfect for my small kitchen. Now on the "to-do" list.
Great build, Steve!
I do have a tip for you, though (although you've been doing this far longer than I have).
Before I paint plywood, I smear joint compound (the drywall stuff) on the exposed ply edges, let dry, and then lightly sand w/ 220. Once you paint, you'll never see those plys - they come like butter!!
So good to have you back with another great project. I love how many of your projects are relatable and approachable. I know it's part of your personal mission statement, but that's why I've followed you so long and love your videos. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much!
That is a fabulous idea Steve! I mean, who doesn't need more storage space in their kitchen? I know we do! Thank you for the walk through to see how to build it! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
@@SteveRamsey It was my pleasure.
I just did a quick Google search and found super lite weight and partical board versions of this for $100+. This is a solid wood, well build island that will last decades. Plus in making it yourself, it's something to be proud of every time you use it. Great project Steve.
Solid wood? It’s ply wood. And ply that clearly has lots of voids.
It's going to take double the years and moisture for construction grade plywood to deteriorate as magically as MDF. But go ahead, use baltic birch ply, or solid bubinga, zebrawood, or koa. It's your wallet. It's still a great design, and an achievable project for weekend warriors and mere mortals. Thanks, Steve!
Steve, always a pleasure to watch you make your projects..
I may have to resaw some of my pallet wood and do a panel glue-up... Take care & stay safe Steve & family.
It’s been a long time since I’ve watched a WWMM video but man does it bring back good memories. I learned so much from this man and I’m glad to see he is still staying true to what this channel is about. I half expected a sawstop and festool gadgets 😂
Had I waited a week, I probably would have built mine right LOL! I'm actually using this concept as a drawer. Planning on a small cabinet of these for project specific tools I need near my workbench, just not all the time. Leatherworking tools, as an example. I can pull my "leather working drawer" out and bring it to my bench, then put it away after that project. These will likely be the stand for my band saw as I don't have a lot of accessories for my bnad saw, but it does need a stand - small-sized shop problems... Thanks again, Steve!
That is cool would be great in my hobby room. Reminded me of those old VHS cabinets way back when.
Nice project. One caution though - at 5:07 you are using your pin nailer and have your hand in the danger zone if the pin would happen to go in a different direction than you are intending. Pins and nails don't always go where you think they are heading. Ask me how I know.
Thanks for the project.
Great project. I like it. Great thing about it. The dimensions can be modified to store other things like CDs, DVDs, paint or crafting supplies.
I love that you showed the completed project at the beginning. Looks like a handy LITTLE piece.
Good to see you building again.
Steve you got me into woodworking during lockdown. Ive had a lull in it for a short while, and your video has inspired me once again.
That is awesome! Thank you
@SteveRamsey No, thank you. I want to make a business of it, and I think I'd stepped back from it due to the worry of the whole thing. Now going to try and make it happen.
The deep blue paint and the Cherry wood contrast beautifully and the reveal makes all the difference to the top, great detailing which lifts the whole piece !
Steve, can you do a tilt out garbage cabinet?
Awesome project, Steve!
11:54 - the bit is called a Vix bit.
Ah! Thank you!
Terrific project (as usual). That darned flexing plywood (probably narcissistic) is a great reason for having bar clamps that can be turned into spreaders. A couple of my TWW projects showed my that some designer knew what lay in store.
Just in time for my own pantry cabinet project. 👍
What a simple, yet very practical project! Thank you for showing!
6:08 holy shit i was gonna make a jig/template for shelf pin holes but you saved me some time with the pegboard option since i have some around.
Yes! The pegboard works great!
I really appreciate how you talk through the project. It is very helpful.
It's always good when you build a project. It looks great.
Nice build! I just finished the Weekend Woodworker and I can’t recommend it enough. It was a great course and I learned a ton. I especially like how you give us the freedom to make changes to make the projects ours.
I’d like to make a jewelry box for my wife but haven’t decided on a plan yet. Now I think a 1/8 version of this pantry in cherry would make a great jewelry box. Thanks for the inspiration!
Steve, keep making videos like this. Love your projects and gives me some great ideas.
Wow. Great project! I so love your no nonsense approach to these projects! Thank you!
I appreciate the extreme closeup at 12:18 so so much. It's so good to know that having a drill hole be slightly off and the driving of the screw pull the pieces slightly apart is normal. I make things, they turn out okay, but I always doubt if little things like that add up to the less than 100% that my projects wind up. I will stop worrying and learn to love woodworking now
Thank you! Yes, people are often surprised at how much wiggle room there is in woodworking, especially when something is this big. I try to get as accurate as possible without driving myself crazy 🤣
This reminds me of the similar styled cabinet you made out of a sheet of plywood years ago. It was one of the nicest projects and I just shared it with another CZcamsr. I like this one, too. Thanks for all of the handy tips, too.
Thanks Steve. I always enjoy your project videos.
Thank you David!
Awesome little project, Thank you for posting. I love the shallow form factor. As someone with a small space, something like this is great and could even be mounted on the wall(or attached to it). Also appreciate you mentioning the safety note about tablesaw sled + fence for dados and not for full cuts.
Awesome, approachable project! Thanks Steve! My mind is churning with ways I can adapt this to my home.
Nice design and a very useful project. Thanks for sharing.
Great little cabinet, Steve -- love the combination of low-profile and high utility. Without the base and top, I could see this working well as a wall cabinet for paint supplies and all kinds of things.
I'm going to build it for exactly that.
Great job Steve!
Perfect Steve
Another great build, Steve. I always look forward to it your next video!
Great simple build made possible with without the need of fancy tools. Thank you, I'm inspired to do something similar for my photography equipment. BTW, that was a great newsletter and very inspiring as well. I'm heading into my shop to make that box.😊
Love these cabinet-build videos! Thank you, Steve!
Glad you like them!
Great video Steve. I love the color paint you used.
Fantastic build Steve & perfect for use in any kitchen! 👍👍
Thank you!
Your work is just so interesting. Love the cabinet🎉
Great looking design.
Another most enjoyable video. Great build.
I noticed you're sneaking up on 2 million subs.
Thanks for posting, and thumbs up.
I like the cabinet great job
Great build steve!!
THANKS for the inspiration. Considering this style as a cabinet for paint under an existing window. Thinking of gallon cans on the interior and spray cans on the doors. 🤔
Yay more Steve videos !!! I'll watch any project videos you make :)
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic!!! 👍 I’ve missed you and your videos on here! So glad this dropped by! 😊
Nice build!
Very nice! I have the perfect spot in the kitchen for a cabinet just like that! (Except that mine will be more lopsided and shoddily finished.)
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the excellent project video. Much appreciated.
Thank for watching!
Very nice job on that project
Truly amazing work, Steve! Beautiful piece!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
Would love to adapt this design for our dog/cat food storage needs. Maybe with a drawer on the bottom for dog/cat bowls.
Neat idea!
great! I love the looks of it!
Thank you! 🙂
Great idea for a permanently temporary workbench/assembly table! Add or remove 5 to 8 ft work/assy top; add another or two for workbench purposes: shelves, cubbies hold nails, screws, tools, glue, gizmos!
Wow that is pretty snazzy Steve! 💕 and boy your 15 minute video makes it look easy but I know this probably took a week! 💕👏👍
It was actually pretty straightforward. Attaching the doors was really the fussiest part.
Very nice project!
Thank you sir
That looks really nice! Thanks for great ideas! I see several of these in my future :)
Honestly, I think I'm the only person I know who knows the Cat People movie. Malcolm McDowell was so good in that.
Awesome.
That is a great little cabinet! I think I can make that.
You can do it!
Beautiful ❤️
Thanks Annette!
Yep good one Steve, Wish I could do it as fast as you LOL. this would take me a couple of weeks, Age is not on my side !
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you……
Nice!
Steve good job as always!
Does it make a difference to you if we skip the youtube adds?
Now all I need is time and materials.
Smart af I like it
A nice looking piece. It would have been good if you could have shown how to fill some of those voids on the edges of the ply before painting. That would have provided a more "finished" look to the inside of the cabinet.
You can use spackle or wood putty if the plywood edges bother you. 👍
I had a DVD storage case that opened up just like that
Hi Steve - perfect timing as we're considering adding a small buffet to our kitchen. What is the straight edge that you're using to cut down the plywood at the 0:25 mark of the video?
Hi Steve, do you sand your plywood before sanding it?
Was it my imagination?? At first I thought the cabinet looked grey and at the end it was a blue color... was that a trick of a light or did repaint it, or you make 2 of them? Anyway a cool project, and as you know I've a long-time viewer and I miss the gripper spots when Microjig was your sponsor... then for reasons you said, you weren't doing that anymore... but as soon as I got my table saw, I got 2 of the grippers and they work Grrrrrreat! Cheers!
Love it. Finishing up the Weekend Woodworker course and really appreciate your project videos. Any design reason you didn't use rabbets for this one?
That's a good question. I wish I had a good answer! Haha. They actually would have simplified the assembly.
Love you
Thank you!
genius. I had a similar build hanging for at least 10 years. Than I moved house and I wanted to start using this cabinet but the doors were binding when trying to close. I put the box on its back and was able to rip 1 mm off of one door and now they close without binding. All that is left is to sand and stain it.
Curious what the weight capacity of the door shelves are. Could they hold cans for instance? I'm not sure how strong those piano hinges are
For the shelf pin slide-out problem, have you considered cutting notches in the bottoms of your shelves to keep them from sliding on the pins? A router will work for round pins, a chisel for flat ones. Each notch shouldn't need more than a few seconds to cut. Then the shelves must lift a little bit before they can slide out, which should be unlikely if they're loaded.
i have a question about your courses which one should i complete first
Neat project! Your tools are fabulous, too! *edit*: Do you have a video on how you painted that stool? I can't find a video if there is one and I need that stool 😁
I don't have a full video on painting that, but you can see on this short how I used spray paint and just kinda faded one color into the next. Thanks...I love that stool! czcams.com/users/shortsgYWoGqbITxw?si=bmtlTDj7GEW9BqLg
@@SteveRamsey Thank you so much! I totally had a moment at the end of the short where I was like, "no, don't sit! it's not dry!" And then I remembered editing is a thing 🤣 Thank you again!
Nice build! It's going to come handy! Question...why are your tools sprayed with multiple colors? Thanks for sharing the video.
Haha...I just like the colors
@@SteveRamsey ok🙂
The reveal on the top is not the same all the way around , But great project.
Has anyone made the spice cabinet
I miss your maker project videos.
That's all I've been doing for the past year
Why the plywood looks like 1incg not 3 quarter?
No eye protection with brad gun.... naughty boy.
The center drilling hole didn't appear to be exactly in the middle of the hole. Is it possible I'm not the only one who has trouble with those tools or was that just a camera angle thing?
It's close enough
I love your content, But have you ever considered doing a parallel channel where you remove all the voice overs, some kind of woodworking asmr similar to blacktail?
No. I have no interest in that. That's not the mission of my work.
hey Steve, always been a mystery to me as to why Americans skip the "H" in Herbs and pronounce it "erbs" cheers from Frank down under
Unless it's a man named Herb, then we pronounce it lol
