I Built a $5,000 Mudroom for Under $1,700
What happens here
Construct the mudroom's drawers. The creator uses 1/2-inch plywood for both the sides and the bottom of the drawers to ensure extra strength and durability, as shoes can be heavy. These drawers are assembled using pocket holes, screws, and wood glue. The creator uses the Milescraft DrawerJig, showcasing its features including its versatility for different drawer slide types (side-mount, under-mount), its pin locators for consistent spacing, and non-marring rubber bumpers to protect finished surfaces.
Goal: Construct and install sturdy drawers for the mudroom base units
