![]() ![]() The front piece does not have any pocket holes. Drill pockets holes as shown in the picture. Make sure the pocket holes are under the seating board and then attach this board with 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws. To install the middle board level, measure 13 1/4″ from the bottom of the locker and draw a line as a guide. Step 8 – Mark the Elevation of the Seating Board and Attach Since this is a seating board, drill extra pocket holes closer together to make this piece support more weight. You will need to use a jig saw to cut out the 3/4″ indent. Now cut the middle seating board per dimension shown in the picture. Step 7 – Measure and Cut Middle the Seating Board Make sure the drawer slide is 3/4″ set back from the front. Then place the drawer slide over the 2×4 and screw it to the side piece of the locker. Take a scrap 2×4 or 1×4 piece and place it on the bottom of the locker as a guide. The bottom of the locker will have a sliding drawer, so we need to install the 24″ long drawer slide. Now attach it to the bottom base and side pieces with 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws and wood glue. Step 5 – Drill Pocket Holes and Attach the Back Pieceĭrill pocket holes on the back piece, as shown in the picture. Attach these side pieces to the base using wood glue and 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws. Then drill two pocket holes on the front pop out. Making sure they are on the inside bottom of the locker. Now take the side pieces you cut earlier and drill three pocket holes. Step 4 – Attach Side Pieces to the Base of the Locker Step 3 – Assemble the BaseĪttach all four base boards to the bottom locker piece using 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws and wood glue. Then, cut the locker’s bottom piece, which is 24″x31″. Drill pocket holes as shown in the picture making sure that Kreg Jig is set for ¾” plywood. Cut two sideboards at 28 1/4″, then front board at 22″ and the backside at 20 1/2″. The locker sits on the 4” tall base that has four boards. Step 2 – Cut All Pieces for the Base of the Locker Once the large pieces are out of the way, then it’s easier to cut the smaller pieces on a Table Saw. Then, take the second ¾” plywood piece and draw a measurement of the backboard, then cut it out. Then using a Skill Saw cut these side pieces first. Measure and draw, on ¾” plywood, the shape of the side pieces per dimension from the cut list. Since this locker has three major pieces, (one backboard and two sideboards) we need to cut these large items first. Step 1 – Cut Backboard and Side Pieces for the Locker See lumber sizes for actual dimensions vs nominal.ĭisclosure: Some of the links on this page as well as links in “tools for this project” and “material list” sections are affiliate links.
