How to Make and Install a Shaker Style Range Hood Cabinet

Dec 17

Written By Bill

I made a shaker style range hood cabinet for my kitchen. The range hood turned out great and making it turned out to be the easy part. Installing the range hood meant dealing with HVAC ducting, which was a new experience for me. With lots of adapters (and patience) I got the range hood installed and it looks fantastic! Watch along to see how I did it and to learn how to make one for yourself!
