   Depending on the size of the cabinet, you can use premade panels in various widths and lengths. These panels are smaller board widths laminated together to form a much wider solid lumber. After determining the design of the cabinet, you can attach aromatic cedar to the inside to preserve clothing, blankets or other fabrics against moths or any other bugs that can destroy them. Lumber or home improvement stores often have books that contain plans and cutting lists that are extremely helpful in the building of a wide variety of different cabinets or chests. Good luck, and it really isn’t that difficult with the plans that I mentioned earlier. I am a cabinet builder, feel free to ask me anything if you get stuck.
