Step-by-step Instructions

1

The first step is to break the plywood panel down in size.

Rip two strips, 8 feet long by 15-3/4" wide. Then cross cut 38" off one of the strips. Rip the remaining strip and the 38" strips into pieces 7-3/4" wide. If you don't have a tablesaw, here is a method of using the circular saw to make good rip cuts:

Step 2

Start by assembling the base storage compartments as shown above. Measure and mark out the joint locations with a square and attach with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.

Drill 3/4" pocket holes along top edge and ends of the footers. Attach inset slightly to the base.

An alternative attachment method is 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue.

Step 10

NOTE: For the shelves, I used shelf pins and recommend attaching a 1x3 to back underside of the shelf to attach hooks to. Then when you move your shelf down or up, the hook goes too.

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
