Vertical Behind the Cabinet Door Cutting Board Holder

Easy
We're doing a DIY kitchen renovation (agonizingly slowly, but we're doing it!). We're using Cabinets to Go cabinets, and had to doctor a fridge cabinet to create a cabinet for the double ovens. That meant I had some scraps of cabinet wood left over, and that gave me a great idea for a vertical cutting board holder.
I'd seen something similar that you can purchase, but it came with cutting boards. I already have cutting boards. And I also had wood scraps, a few screws, and some L brackets.
Ah, our messy, mid-renovation kitchen. We've done two of the three phases so far, and the only thing left to replace is the blue kitchen island. I'll miss the pop of color when it's gone, honestly, but I'm still crazy excited to get it done!
I'm sure there are more elegant solutions than an L bracket to attach the cutting board holder to the inside of a cabinet door, but these were in the garage already, and they were easy. And I'm the only one who will see the inside of my cabinets, anyway. Just be sure you use SHORT screws that won't go all the way through your pretty cabinet doors.
I did this project three years ago, and it still makes me happy every time I open up my cabinet to get a cutting board out!
Enjoyed the project?

That would stick out too far on my cabinets, but otherwise that would work perfectly.

Have a question about this project?
The instructions for this are basically non-existent in this posting. Is it possible, please, to get step-by-step instructions with photos?
Clearer instructions as to the materials used would be helpful.
I was asked what was used for the bottom of this to hold the boards or baking pans in place? I could not answer this question.
What type of wood holds them in thank you
