Today I’m sharing with you how I made a miniature cabinet with two opening doors at 1:12 scale, using cedar wood with a thickness of 3 mm. This piece adds a realistic touch to any dollhouse.

 I rely on a set of trusted tools that help achieve professional-looking results in miniature woodworking:

• Sandpaper – to smooth edges and prepare surfaces.
• Transparent brown stain – to bring out the natural beauty of the wood grain.
• Wood oil – to protect and enhance the finish.
• Jeweler’s saw – for delicate and precise cuts.
• Small table saw – to speed up straight cuts.
• 12V mini sander – for quick, clean smoothing.

📏 Measurements (in millimeters and inches):

• Side panels:
  60 × 35 mm (2.36 × 1.37 in) ×2
  65 × 5 mm (2.55 × 0.19 in) ×4
• Bottom and top panels:
  70 × 45 mm (2.75 × 1.77 in) ×2
• Back panel:
  70 × 53 mm (2.75 × 2.08 in)
• Middle shelf:
  70 × 35 mm (2.75 × 1.37 in)
• Top overhang piece:
  83 × 48 mm (3.26 × 1.88 in)
• Doors:
  52 × 34 mm (2.04 × 1.33 in) ×2

To make it easier for you to understand the building process, I prepared an exclusive PDF file with a step-by-step video tutorial. The file is available at a symbolic price to support and encourage me to continue creating more miniature projects for dollhouse lovers.
