make your garage work smarter with this simpleto build solution. this project is a clever combo of tool storage,and a place to use those tools. start by building the frame, making sure thepieces for the face fit flush. because this whole project relies solely on screws to jointhe pieces…you’ll want to countersink them…so create the countersink first, thendrill a pilot hole deep enough to accommodate
woodworking bench plans garage, the screw, then drive the screw. once the4 frame pieces are joined, flip it to work on the backside.attach two cleats to the back of the frame – these add support and will be used tohang the project on the wall. use the same process; countersink, pilot, then drive screws.next, cut a series of vertical braces for
the inside face of the cleats. – a quicktip – when you’re cutting multiple pieces that need to be the exact same length, tapethem together – it’s faster and more exact. then use spacers to layout the braces on thecleats. drill pilot holes and drive the screws on both ends of the bracestwo more braces help ‘frame out’ the adjustable shelving area – and you can use the actualshelf supports as spacers in this step. with the braces attached, sandwich the shelf supportsbetween the braces, and set the long shelf in place – driving two screws into eachsupport – and through the frame. – a couple of scraps under the shelf will support itwhile you work – and you can use a framing square to transfer a line to find center whenyou’re driving those screws. for a little
extra security- flip the frame and drive acouple more screws through the cleats into the shelf supports. flip the frame again toadd the horizontal slats that will hold the adjustable shelving. a quick shortcut? tapethe slats together and drill all the pilot holes at once…then drill your countersinksand drive the screws individually. now you can attach the pegboard pieces that are cutto fit the space, for some vertical storage, drill holes intoa 2x4 and add it to the end of the unit – position it in the middle or at the very end dependingon your needs, then add dowels to the holes to act as pegs to hang things from.and finally, add the bifold door to the bottom using 3 evenly spaced hinges….make surethe edge of the door is offset from the frame
to accommodate the hinges. the door can thenfold up flat against the unit, or unfold into a work surface supported by sawhorses. forthe detailed directions to the project, go to lowes.com/lci-tool table
