Step 1. Construct Carcass
Step 2. Build Face Frame
Step 3. Attach Face Frame
You can attach the face frame 1 of 2 ways. You can utilize a Pocket Hole Jig and place pocket holes on the interior of the 15.25″x 64.5″ plywood. OR you can do what I did and apply wood glue to the face of the carcass (base) and then attach the face frame using finish nails and clamping.
Step 4. Finish
Before applying paint and/or stain I gave it a quick once over with sand paper before applying paint. This will help create a nice smooth finish.
Step 6. Insert Lockers
I ordered (x2) lockers from HomeDepot.com, they come in several colors. I opted for red, and I love them! They serve as great HIDDEN storage. My favorite kind!
