STEPS

SKILL LEVEL intermediate

To make laundry easier, why not have a dedicated basket next to the washer and dryer? One for each member of the household makes it easy to wash, fold & put away. We used nametags Pauline showed us how to create last October to add a final touch.

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 determining the overall size you'll want to make your organizer. This could be dependent on your space & the size of the laundry baskets you'd like to use. As with many DremelWeekends projects, this is completely customizable to your needs! The following will be instructions to build your organizer according to our dimensions. Our organizer is a total of 32" tall, 24" wide and 17 1/4" deep. Each of our three laundry baskets were 20 1/2" wide, 17" deep and 7" tall. Once you've determined your overall height, width and depth measurements, measure and mark your cuts on your plywood panel. Secure your panel to your workbench and use your Dremel Saw-Max tool equipped with the SM500 blade to cut along your marked lines. You'll cut a total of 4 pieces, two for the top and two for the sides. Plywood Panel dimensions: Top & Bottom (2): 24 x 17 1/4" Sides (2): 32 x 17 1/4"

STEP 2

Step 2

With your pieces cut, it is time to construct the frame. To begin, secure a piece of the 3/4" pine material, centered along each of the (shorter) 17 1/4" sides of your bottom panel 1" in from the sides.
