1

Decide on a plan for your kitchen cabinets. This is one thing that you do not want to build on the fly. You need to either draft a plan or purchase a set of plans that are appropriate for your overall goals when you build bamboo cabinets for your kitchen. Plans can generally be found quite inexpensively and are worth every penny for the time they will save over 'winging it' with almost any building project.

2

Recruit help. Not only is building the cabinets in the first place a two-person job but also installing them. You will need help for a project of this scope and it's great to have an extra set of eyes in addition to the extra pair of hands.

3

Select the materials you will be using. It may be a no-brainer that you will be using bamboo when you build bamboo cabinets but there are various grades of bamboo and you want material that is appropriate and adequate to serve as cabinetry. Take your time when selecting this material as you are likely to be seeing it day after day for many years to come.

4

Gather tools. It is a good idea to move all the tools that you will be using for this project into one central location. This allows you to quickly and easily gain access to them all, saves time on the overall project, and clues you in quickly to any items that may be missing or inadequate to build bamboo walls.

5

Put the plan into action. You have purchased your plans, sorted your materials, and all that is left is to actually build bamboo cabinets. If you have chosen the plans wisely and according to your skill level and comfort zone you should have few problems completing the project with beautiful bamboo cabinets as your final result.
