I haven't built a drying cabinet for paper but I did roll my own for drying film. After examining the cost of materials I decided to start with a steel cabinet purchased from an office supply. The cost of this was less than half of the cost of materials if built from wood and a lot of the work was already done since it had doors with handles, etc. I did have to use a cold chisel to break welds to remove shelving but that was a minor procedure. Additionally I have considered adding a light bulb covered with a 2lb coffee can to provide passive heated air flow but that hasn't proved to be necessary. The cabinet works great and I never have dust spots from drying. The top of the cabinet has threaded rods to attach clips to hang the film and I have dried gelatin size paper in the cabinet as well but it does seem to take a long time since the cabinet is very air tight. Something to think about.
Good Luck,
Don Bryant
