INSTRUCTIONS
 
STEP 1

Build the storage box out of 1x12s.  I recommend using 3/4″ pocket holes and 1-1/4″ pocket hole screws to secure everything, hiding pocket holes on insides.  You can alternatively use 2″ self tapping screws or 2″ brad nails and glue.

STEP 2

Make sure project is square before this step.

Attach 1×2 front face frame boards with 1-1/4″ brad nails and glue.

NOTE: To minimize front tipping, also attach 1x2s at top back for securing media center center to wall.

STEP 3

Set circular saw blade depth to about 1/4″.  Mark lines in 1×12 door faces.  Make false cuts in 1x12s.  TIP: Clamping a straight guide to the 1×12 will help you cut straighter.

Attach hardware, hinges and magnetic clasps.  

 

Attach caster wheels to base.

 

An optional 1/4″ back can be added, nail on with 3/4″ brad nails and wood glue.
