What happens here
Next, construct the locker units. Cut plywood pieces for the sides, tops, and bottoms of the lockers. For the side panels, create an angled cut (30 degrees in this case) on the top to match the slope of the ceiling or wall they will be installed against. Use a template made from scrap plywood to ensure consistent angled cuts. Assemble the locker boxes using wood glue and screws, ensuring all joints are strong and square. The creator also discusses the importance of efficient plywood usage for these taller units, cutting them to 48 inches tall and 15 inches deep by 17 inches wide.
Goal: Construct individual locker units with angled tops for a custom fit
