Started working on some "lockers" for a niece's house. The lockers will go in the garage and help her organize five little one's coats, boots, gloves and backpacks.
This is the picture of what Lisa wants in her garage. Still not sure if we are going to have doors on all the lockers, but this is what we have started. Going to make it out of knotty alder and stain them so they match the rest of the cabinets in the house.
This is the area the lockers are going. The door way on the left goes in to the mud room and kitchen. The cabinet or closet on the right is where the hot water heater is. There will be seven lockers and will go floor to ceiling.
So I got the lockers started this past weekend. We hauled in 4 sheets of 4 x 8 alder MDF plywood and got to cutting. My new work bench with the expandable wings worked awesome. I could rip the 4 x 8 sheets without any trouble and nothing fell on the floor.
Got 5 of the bottom cabinets put together this weekend and then ran out of wood. Had to run to the wood store and buy more plywood. Should have enough plywood now to do the upright lockers and the top cabinets above the lockers.
The bottom cabinets are 21 1/2 inches wide, by 15 inches tall and 34 inches long. These cabinets will have either baskets or drawers in them to hold boots, gloves, and any other little things the kids need to put away. The tall lockers are about 12 inches deep, so the kids will be able to sit on the front part to take boots off, hang up coats, etc.
Love starting new projects!!
