How to Build a Corner Linen Cabinet

Rip and crosscut poplar to make the door rails and stiles (J, K, M, N, O, and Q). Use glue and two 1/4-inch-diameter dowels at each joint to join the stiles to the rails. Clamp the joints with bar clamps.

Put a 1/2-inch piloted rabbeting bit in the router and set the depth to 1/4 inch. Rout clockwise around the inside of all the rails and stiles. Square the rounded corners of the rabbets with a chisel.

Rip and crosscut 1/4-inch birch plywood to make four door panels (L and P). Apply glue in the rabbets and press the panels in place. Turn the doors over and wipe off any glue squeeze-out.

When the glue has cured, mark each rail at the center of the door panel. Mark center points on the ends of the 1/4-inch-thick center stiles (M and Q). Align the marks and glue the stiles to the panels.
