| This stylish liquor cabinet not only stores your wine and spirits, but also provides space where you can hang your wineglasses. |

1
Using the circular saw, cut out the components from the 2400 x 1200 x 17mm sheet (diagram A). Make sure the good face is down when cutting and use a level as a straight edge.
2
To neaten the edges, glue the 17mm-thick cover strips to the front edges of all the components you've just cut. Use masking tape to hold the strips in place while the glue is drying.
3
Cut out two rails for the top of the carcass from the 900 x 600 x 12mm sheet. Cut the rails to 600 x 80mm. Then, using the handsaw, notch out the back and front of the ends to fit the rails. Each notch should be 80mm wide and 12mm deep.
4
Glue and screw the support rails to the top of the cabinet sides (see diagram B).
5
Screw the bottom shelf 30mm from the bottom of the cabinet sides to make up the basic carcass of the liquor cabinet.
6
In the piece of ply set aside for the wineglass shelf, use a jigsaw to cut two slots (15mm wide and 250mm deep) running from front to back (diagram C). Glue and screw the wineglass shelf 60mm from the top of the centre division.
7
Attach the middle shelf to the centre division and then fit that division 220mm from one of the cabinet sides (see diagram E).
8
Once the shelves are fitted, it's time to fix the door. Measure the distance between the middle shelf and the bottom (giving you the height of the door), and between the centre division and end (giving you the width of the door). Cut the door from the 12mm ply and add the 50 x 10mm cover strip around the edges. Hinge the door to the cabinet and fit the knob. Then make up a backing for the cupboard and glue and screw it into place.
9
For the wine storage, the remaining 300 x 841mm divisions will be spaced evenly between the centre division and the side of the cabinet. The divisions that make up the wine rack have to be pre-drilled to fit the dowels before they can be fixed inside the carcass (diagram D). These holes should be 16mm in diameter, so that the dowel fits snugly. Clamp the dividers together and drill the holes, making sure they line up. Cut the dowel into 14 equal lengths to fit the distance between the end and centre division. Before fitting in the divisions that make up the wine rack, thread the 14 lengths of dowel through the pre-drilled holes. Space these divisions evenly between the end and centre division then glue and screw in place (diagram E).
10
Fit the top, screwing through from the underside of the top rails. Once fixed, rout an ornate edge around the front and sides of the top (optional).
11
Once it's assembled, give the cabinet a light sand, and then apply a coat of varnish.
