This DIY Sideboard Buffet Cabinet is a great woodworking project for a relative beginner, since you won’t need a ton of tools. A table saw, miter saw, pocket hole jig, and drill are the only tools you’ll need to complete this piece. You could even break down these pieces with a circular saw if you don’t have a table saw or miter saw.

This DIY sideboard project will hone your skills as a woodworker, as you tackle basic cabinet construction, drawer box building, hanging doors, and distressing a stained finish. This farmhouse-style piece will be sure to last many years.

The DIY Sideboard Buffet Cabinet plans include a detailed cutlist, a cutting diagram for breaking down the lumber, and a SketchUp file. If you have any questions during the build, you can email me and I’ll do my best to help.
