The stain is my own concoction. It depends on what kind of wood you use because every wood has it's own color.
This is the shelf from the cabinet I took out, as you can see the shelf has a support on the back and on the right side, those have to be glued to the shelf to become one, then you put the strip on the right side and on the ceiling. When you glue the front into place the whole thing becomes one. It's not going anywhere, my cabinets have bin in our trailer for 3 years and nothing has moved. The front is 1/4" oak plywood with a frame around the door on the inside opening to stiffen it up. Most of the material for my cabinets is 1/4" plywood. |

Great plans, pictures, and explanations. Before I launch into this project, I need to figure out how to anchor and support the long end of cabinet in my 177, which is configured differently than the 172 that has that useful partition on which to anchor the long end of the cabinet.

This is the second cabinet in that location, I made the first one 10" deep so I wouldn't bump my head on it, as it turned out there was a lot of room left so I made the second one 14" deep and still have room to spare.
I don't use any anchors, predrill the holes in the supports so the screws go through freely and than fasten it to the wall. I use coarse thread dry wall screws (grabbers) but be careful you don't overturn them. You be surprised how well it holds. |

Looks really nice!
I'm considering a few mods, but not sure about the attachment to the wall. With wood wall supports would I need to pre-drill thru the support and wall surface and then using the pre-drilled hole in the wall surface as a guide, make the hole larger to insert a plastic wall anchor? Any help is greatly appreciated! |

There is that misconception that a shelf support has to be under the shelf, not so. You can make it invisible by putting it inside the cabinet.
The supports don't have to be 2 or 3" wide, for these small cabinets 3/4" to 1" is quite sufficient. |

Tech, the supports you are talking about are there, they are inside the cabinet. The strip on the ceiling is in two pieces with a cut almost through every 3 to 4", it is easier to keep it in line.
Just because you can't see them dos not mean there not there. |
