Back in the 60's and 70's most new homes built-in cabinets had plywood
face frames. Done right the doors and drawer fronts were made from the
pieces cut out form the drawer and door openings. Add moldings and
those blanks became trimmed out doors just a little bigger than the
openings. There was a lot of plunge cutting going on. Not the best way
to do things but many many kitchen and bathroom cabinets were built this
way.


All built-in, and, in the case of base cabinets, most with 2x4 frames to
attach the faceframes to the walls.

Quick, cheap, and surprising enough, lasting longer than many of the
cabinets put in million dollar homes I routinely see, and am hired to
fix, today.
