Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Build the basic frame for the storage hutch. I used 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws and glue. Check for square.
Step 2
Nail back to all fixed boards with 3/4" nails and wood glue. Make sure project is square. Use the factory edge of your plywood to adjust your project for square.
Step 3
Drill 3/4" pocket holes on both ends of shelves and attach inside the project. You can also attach back with nails.
Step 4
Add 1x2s on top inside with 1-1/4" nails and glue.
Step 5
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.
