how do you build a wood kitchen's cabinet?
Answers:
It's not a good beginner's project. Excuse me for labelling you as a beginner, but your question lacks detail, which suggests that you are not familiar with cabinet making. There are two basic types of cabinets, framed and unframed. Neither one is better. They're just different. They look different, and they are made in different ways. For frameless cabinet construction, I use 3/4" plywood. All the edges are doweled and glued. Drawer boxes are dovetailed, and I recomend Blum, full-extension, undermount slides. For framed work, I use 1" stock and mortise and tenon joints. The case has 3/4" sides and 1/2" top and bottom. Case is fitted flush to frame. Doors and drawers are projects in their own right.
Try making a small table, something without doors and drawers, first. It's a more manageable project(you can even buy turned legs, if you don't have the equipment to do your own). Good luck and have fun.

I like to think of cabinets in two parts. 1. The box and 2. The face. Most lower (base) cabinets are 24" deep from the front of the face to the back of the cabinet. Most upper cabinets are 12" to 14" deep. Lower cabinets should be 35" to 36" and the distance between upper and lower cabinets should be around 18", as this is standard for most kitchens. Building cabinets is a craft. Precision and high quality are a must. I've built several full sets of cabinets through the years but I have never had a blueprint other than the layout for the owner. You should be able to find some good information about cabinet building at your local library.
Good Luck!
