Building Custom DIY Built In Cabinets with Shelves and Storage Bench

Hey friends, after many (MANY) requests, let's build some basic built ins! This video was sponsored by Shopify. Kickstart your business today with a free trial of Shopify at https://www.shopify.com/woodshopdiaries/ I built these custom built ins for my sisters office to add storage and sophistication. To keep things simple, it was built in sections--two base cabinets, two bookshelves, and a bench seat to go between them. All in all, there's a lot to cover, but this project is pretty straightforward. I hope you enjoy watching them come together!
