Unless you want something really different or special, you can't make them for
what you can buy them for..

Instant gratification isn't something a wood working person wants, but in this
case, I'd go for just that..

I don't know what your lady is like but if mine didn't have a functional kitchen
for a while, I damn sure wouldn't what that to be MY fault... YMWV

Like the song says, "If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy"

We are planning to redo our kitchen in a year or two. We'll be doing
most of it ourselves, including building the cabinets. I have been
building my skills and my tool collection and think I am just about
ready for this task. We have remodeled another kitchen in the past
using ready made cabinets.

I have one big question though. I'm not sure if it's cost effective to
build my own cabinets or to go out and buy some decent quality ready
made ones. As far as tools go I would have to buy a big router to
handle panel raising and either build or buy a "real" router table (I
am now using the Porter Cable entry level "table" with a PC 691).
Then, there is the cost of materials. My wife wants cherry and I know
it's not cheap. The cost of hardware is obscene and all the other wood
for drawers, shelves and carcasses will add up to a small fortune.
