Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Step 1

Begin by finding a drawer, in new or used condition, that is ready to be repurposed. It may be old furniture that you have around the house, or take the opportunity to shop flea markets for the perfect fit! If any of the drawer boards are damaged, use a measuring tape to determine the dimensions to make a replacement piece.
