Hi Jose

You can use MDF for all the parts for the shop cabinets that will save you tons of money

3/4" for the frames and 1/4" for the panels or 3/4" MDF for the raised type.

The only bit you will need is the T & G set if you use the 1/4" for the panels.

Make the cabinets in door frame way,sides,face frames,backs,etc.all with MDF.....
