Woodsmith Stylish Sliding Door Cabinet Plan

When you walk into a room, you’ll notice this attractive shelving unit in the corner. While admiring the seamless joinery, you become aware that there’s more to this cabinet than meets the eye. Upon closer inspection, the front of the case appears to be two sections. As you pull on either end of the case front, the shelves glide apart, revealing a large space with a pleasant surprise. Hidden behind the sliding cases is a mini-bar, with two full-width shelves. One of the shelves is stationary to give the cabinet strength. The other is adjustable, letting you tailor the space the way you like. Between the two shelves is a slideout tray. Pulling it out you’ll see that it’s hinged and flips open, giving you an extra-wide surface to serve friends a favored drink. Beneath the adjustable shelf is a simple rack that offers ample storage for the wine of your choice. As you slide the tray away and draw the cabinet columns closed, don’t be intimidated by all the moving parts. All it takes is a set of full-extension drawer slides and a keyboard tray slide. As you’ll see, we’ve come up with some tricks that will make building this fun.
