Use this layout if you want all the parts to be plywood. Specifically, the run-
ners/guides.

Step 1: Cut all your parts to size
Consult the cut list and diagrams at the end of the plan for the di-
mensions. Using whatever
tools/resources you may
have, cut your parts to size. I
used my table saw, track saw,
and miter saw to easily break
If you are using
a track saw,
place foam on
the concrete/
floor to protect
your blade!

Step 3: Assemble!
The entire cabinet is a simple box with a vertical divider in the mid-
dle. Start by attaching the top and bottom to the sides. Then mark
the location of the middle divider and secure with screws. Don’t put
on the back just yet. It will make installing the runners/guides much
easier. Tip:
Use clamps and
corner jigs to
keep everything
in position when
drilling and driv-
ing the screws.
Step 2: Marking the screw locations
This carcass will be constructed with simple butt joints and several
screws per joint. together.
The plans have all the
holes marked for every
joint.

Step 4: Apply glue, pre-drill, and drive the screws
I am using Fastcap’s Powerhead screw system. They are an extra
large washer head type screw. They are not necessary but provide
a clean look and extremely strong joint as the washer will grab the
side extremely well. Regular wood screws will certainly do the job
as well.
Pre- drill with a drill bit
and a counter sink or
complete in two separate
steps.
The Powerhead system
from Fastcap drills a shal-
low pilot hole and also a
flat recess for the washer
head of the screw to fit
perfectly in.
I then use a regular drill
bit to extend the pilot
hole.
With a square drive bit, I
drive the washer head
screw.

Step 5: Mill the hardwood runners/guides
Mill your hardwood runners/guides to a thickness of 3/4” and a
width of 1 1/2”. Once they are milled to the correct dimensions, cut
them to 14” in length. This leaves a 1” gap from the back to allow
for some fine tuning when installing the back.
Ease those edges!
It is more convenient to ease the edges with a block plane or some sand
paper when the runners/guides are not yet cut to length.

Step 6:Cut the angled relieve on the runner/guides
The design of the unit allows for approximately 1/4” above each
Dewalt storage unit, but it can be difficult to insert if the runners/
guides have a sharp front corner. We can solve this by cutting a
small 45 degree chamfer on the front of the runner. This will prevent
the storage unit from getting caught on the sharp corner.

Step 7: Drill and countersink mounting holes
The runners/guides are secures with three (3) screws. I used pan
head screws that needed a little countersink to get the correct
depth. The screw dimensions in the plan don’t require the precise
countersink. Drill the countersink, extend the pilot hole, and, if
needed, apply a small countersink to the back side if there was any
chip out. This chip out could pre-
vent the runners/guides from sit-
ting flush when being installed.
Step 8: Install the runners/
guides
Place the runner/guide on the a 4 3/4” spacer. Then apply one
clamp on each end to keep it in position while you drive the three
(3) screws. Make sure the angled
cut is in the front and facing up.

Step 9: Install the back
With the runners/guides in place, the back can now be installed.
Simply put it in place, drill your pilot holes and countersinks, and
drive the screws. The back is held in with a bunch of screws as it is
Tip:
Use clamps to apply a little pressure to the sides and then use your hand
to push the back in or out to get it flush. Then apply more clamping force
and then drill your pilot holes and countersinks and then drive the screws
home!

Step 10: Install the casters
Casters are not necessary but I like the thought of being able to
wheel all my hardware (well at least most of it) to the assembly ta-
ble or my work area.
Installing the casters is very simple, place them on the bottom giv-
ing them a 1/8” from the edge and drive with a screw. It is important
to use a pan head screw or a regular screw with a washer as typi-
cal casters have a large mounting hole that is meant for a large lag
screw.

Step 11: Load the storage organizers and enjoy!
With the project complete, it is now time to load the organizers with
the screws, nuts, bolts, and all the other hardware and nick knacks
you may have and put them in the cabinet.
