Cabinet with a kinetic scissor door

About this tutorial

Dekay (Dekay's Crafts) builds a small cabinet whose door is cut into six pieces at 45° and linked with hinges: it folds up like an accordion as it opens, then becomes a flat panel again when closed. An eye-catching project that mostly calls for accurate cuts.

What you need

• Plywood or wood panels
• Hinges (6 for the door)
• Handle
• Wood screws and wood glue
• Saw capable of 45° angle cuts
• Drill/driver
