24-Inch Wall Cabinet Cut List and Plywood Layout
This 24-inch-wide wall-cabinet example isolates the six 3/4-inch plywood carcass parts: two sides, a top, a bottom, and two adjustable shelves. The separate back and hanging method are deliberately excluded because their thickness and joinery change from shop to shop.
Six carcass parts use well under half a sheet
The solver places every listed rectangle on one 48 × 96 sheet at 36.2% finished-part yield. That makes this a useful companion for another same-thickness project, but only after the second project is entered into the same optimization run.
- Carcass
- 24 in wide × 30 in high × 11 1/4 in deep
- Construction
- Top and bottom captured between measured 3/4 in sides
- Stock

- Excluded
- Back, hanging rail or cleat, door, face frame, mounting hardware, and edge banding
24-inch wall cabinet cut list
The top and bottom span the 22 1/2-inch opening. The shelf is 22 3/8 inches across and 10 7/8 inches deep to provide modest clearance.

Separate the box from the mounting system.
The captured top and bottom use 24 − (2 × 3/4) = 22 1/2 inches. The side depth is 11 1/4 inches in this sample, so it should not be silently substituted into a drawing that calls for a nominal 12-inch finished depth.
A full back in a rabbet, a planted-on back, and hanging rails all alter dimensions and load paths differently. Decide that system first and add its parts as a separate material group if it uses a different thickness.

- Specify the back thickness and whether it sits in rabbets.
- Choose and engineer the hanging method for the wall and load.
- Confirm finished depth, door overlay, and face-frame choice.
- Keep thinner back material in a separate optimizer run.
