I teamed up with the kind and talented sheri from hazel and gold designs and the fine folks at purebond plywood to bring you the free plans for this project.
How to build a wall mounted kitchen counter.
To calculate the size of wall or upper cabinets add 18 20 to the counter height.
For a base cabinet less than 4 wide you can cut all the parts except the back.
Cabinets are also usually 34 5 tall allowing for a 36 overall height once the countertop material is added.
Make a no fuss case using your tablesaw.
Measure and mark the wall measure the height of the base cabinets.
If you re in need of some extra storage that doesn t take up a ton of space but serves up some serious functionality and style then this diy wall mounted bar cabinet is for you.
Most standard cabinets are 34 1 2 high.
Use a tape measure and pencil to place a mark at the height you need then use the pencil and a framer s level to draw a level line across the wall at the height you plan to install the countertop.
Mount the cabinet position the remaining half of the french cleat at the desired height and attach it to the wall studs using 3 inch.
The 3 4 plywood case eliminates panel jointing planing and glue ups.
Make cabinets the easy way begin with the right cabinet dimensions.
Lift the cabinet into place so the halves of the french cleat interlock.
Drive a pair of 3 inch screws through the bottom nailer from the inside of the cabinet.
