Chest of Drawers from 2 by 4s
I have made this project from an old desk and some wood left over from another project for the competition of scrap wood Ana I cut up a list for you though if you're using full-size boards.
Author Notes:
This plan makes a drawer from 2 by 4s and 2 by 6s to the top. Cabinet is 22 ½ inches at the widest point, 22 inches deep and 31 inches high.
2 by 4 and 2 to 6 were actually taken from the bench an old work and so the size was read to some extent available from the wood I cut it and I can make from it.
I tried to make sure all the steps mentioned in this plan, but if you find

General guidelines:
Please read through the entire plan and all the reviews before beginning this project. It is also advisable to look at the Getting Started section. Take all the precautions necessary to build a safe and smart way. Work on a clean flat surface, no defects or debris. Always use a straight board. Check the square after each step. Always predrill holes before mounting with screws. Use nail glue to the end for a stronger organization. Wipe off excess glue off bare wood for staining projects, such as dry glue will not lose marks. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Cut List:
Full list given in the cut plan
Cut Guide:
Full instructions are given in cut plan
Step 1:
I've inserted for parties from four pieces of 2 4 4.
Place the bag inside the hole and put a hole in the bag at the top and bottom of each section to fix to the upper and lower rails.
If you prefer, you can use a piece of plywood for a solid-looking control panel instead.
Step 2 Guide:
Please pane by attaching two 29.5 inch and 14 inch leg 2 by 4s as above and
bottom rails.
Width of 2 by 4s fact can not exactly 3.5 inches and so you may need to cut the 14-inch side rails slightly once you have inserted performed.
Step 3 Instructions:
Add 2 to 4 pieces of the rail as shown.
Make sure the holes are on the inside pocket. The holes should be drilled pockets on narrow sections of each piece.
Step 4 Tutorial:
Add 2 to 4 pieces of iron before the show.
I put the bag holes for the top rail on the top so would be hidden by the top. For rail bottom I put them below so they will be hidden. The holes should be drilled into the bag narrow end of each piece.
Step 5 Guide:
Take a small drawer.
Drilling holes in the end both bags 15 ½ inches in length by 4 pieces 1 drawer.
Join the 16-inch to 15-inch pieces ½ lengths to form the drawer.
You can route the party to fit ¼-inch plywood base inside or repair facility to bottom.
In accordance with the bottom of the drawer slide drawer as well.
Step 6 Guide:
Make two larger drawers.
Drilling holes in the end both bags 15 ½ inches in length 1 in 6 piece drawer.
Join the 16-inch to 15-inch pieces ½ lengths to form the drawer.
You can route the party to fit ¼-inch plywood base inside or repair facility to bottom.
In accordance with the bottom of the drawer slide drawer as well.
Step 7 Guide:
Follow the instructions of your slides to fit them to the inside of the cabinet.
Normally there should end up being a half-inch gap between the bottom of the drawer and the top of the rail beneath it but to follow the instructions that came with your drawer slides.
Step 8 Guide:
Consistent with the drawer fronts.
The small front drawers with 6 pieces measuring 1 ¾ inch long 17 (1/4 inch narrower than the space in which they are fitted). Measure and cut to fit your project though.
The large drawer side is 1 in 8 pieces measuring 17 ¾ inches long (1/4 inch narrower than the space in which they are fitted). Measure and cut to fit your project though.
Consistent with the front compartment guarantee equal distance apart at the top and edges for both.
Drill two holes through the inside front drawer and then fixing the drawer front outside by turning over inside front drawer to drawer front outside use 1 ¼ inch screws.
Step 9 Guide:
Be the first four pieces measuring 2 by 6 inches long by 22.5 (this gives a ¾ inch overlap on each side.
Step 10. Instructions:
Borehole bags and sheets next to the upward adjustment of the first top layer with 2 ½ inch pocket hole screws.
Drill through the top of the front 2 by 4 to the upper rail can be screwed on from below.
Order up with the good side down and then placed on the cabinet cocked.
Make sure you have a gap in all around and then fix the side and rear with 1 ¼ inch pocket hole screws and the front edge with 2.5 inch wood screws through the front rail.
Step 11:
Consistent with the back plate from the inside.
I suggest you leave at least a half inch gap around the edges and use ¾ inch nails done to fix it.
Dimensions given in the plan (12 inch 17 ½ inches) allows 1 inch overlap around each side.
Step 12:
Sand smooth and our joints and remove any wood glue residue.
Apply stain Pre and your choice of color or paint as desired.
Examples of these plans have been completed in Carrington and Varathane Varathane Matte Poly.
Step 13:
Add hardware of your choice in the drawer (you will need to temporarily remove the drawer front part).
Guide prepared:
Fill all the holes with wood side and let it dry. Apply additional coats of wooden parts when necessary. When the filler is completely dry wood, sand projects in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sands project to remove sand residue. Remove all sandy residue on work surfaces as well. Wipe clean-up projects with damp cloth. It is always advisable to apply a class test on a hidden area or debris to ensure color uniformity and adhesion. Using wood primer or things when necessary.
