I never made a cabinet before and it never came into my mind of making one. I even didn't know how to use a hammer.
One day, one of our borders ask for an additional cabinet in his room. Since our carpenter was too busy doing other things, I decided to try in making one.
As part of the preparation, I really practiced to use a hammer on junk woods.
To make the story short, I was able to make it myself alone. See photo above for my finish product.
Just don't comment that it's ugly for I will block you here lol. Just kidding.

@Macarrosel wow I'm surprised
But just a friendly tip, when making square or rectangular things like that one, a handy tool is a 45 degree triangle or what we Filipinos " skuala" or just any triangle students use to make sure its on right angles, your work is already excellent the squala would make it look professional, congratz you have talent.

No! Just a hammer, zigsaw, and other tools.

It looks better than what I could do. I am not very good with tools.

I think you did a great job. I started working in the garage with my dad when I was around 4 or 5. I have always been handy with tools. But to do something like this for the first time I think you did great. You should be proud of yourself and what you can do. Everyone can do things they feel they can't do. Just try and you will be so surprised what else you can do. Great start.

That's a nice cabinet! Congrats you made it! Who sawed the plywood and other wood you used in making it? It could be so hard to make exact measurements!

You did a wonderful job. I think it would not have been easy to make such a cabinet because you need right size of wood pieces. Kudos to you.
