1 Mark the dimensions of the triangular shelves on a sheet of plywood and then cut out using the jigsaw.
2 Mark, and then cut the side panels from ply. The front edge of each panel is cut at 45 degrees. Lay the side panels on the ground so you can check they line up with the triangular shelves.
3 On another sheet of ply, mark the front doors of the cabinet to allow for a 100mm border around both doors, and then cut out the centres for the fly screen.
4 Cut the fly screen 50mm larger (around each side) and staple to the inside of the cupboard doors and side panels. Then, add some decorative beading with mitred corners.
5 Screw the sides together,and then screw the shelves in place.
6 Cut the triangular top slightly larger so you can trim it later, if necessary, for a snug fit. Nail top in place.
7 Mark and cut the front kicker out of ply, and then nail in place.
8 Attach the doors to the front of the cabinet with hinges, then add the knobs.
9 Slide the unit into place and trim the top, if necessary, to fit neatly against the walls.
10 Apply a coat of timber stain.
11 Optional: Drawer can be made out of leftover materials.
