    Anyone know where to pickup 4 cheap unfinished cabinet doors.. I need the approx. sizes:

    Two 28" tall x 17 & 3/4" wide
    Two 9" tall x 18 & 1/2" wide

    Looks like if I get them online somewhere they will be pretty expensive: approx $100 shipped

    Anyone have any ideas or know a good place to buy em?

    shoot a pic, but maybe your only option is to make your own or get lucky in local trade mags

    Check out Habitat for Humanity (The Re-store) for sure. You may have to pick through piles of doors for an hr or so to find what your looking for. The hunt is just as much fun as the find IMHO.
    I picked these four doors for $10 each.:thumb_up:

    Could you post a pic of your final stand? I am in the process of building one similar to yours.

    You can go to Home Depot or Lowes and they will cut plywood to size for you. Then all you have to do is put on hinges and knobs/handles and put them on your cabinet. I made my whole cabinet my self. Bought the wood at the local Home Depot and let them cut it. It's really simple and cheap, especially if they have scrap plywood that is slightly larger than you need.
