DIY Toy Chest with Hand-Painted Lettering

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this episode, learn how to build your very own chest for things like toys or blanket storage, or even cats... I don't judge. It's a bit of a lengthy video but by the end of it, you'll be an expert! And as always, if you have any questions or concerns, let me know in the comments, I will get back to you ASAP.
FYI, it wasn't built for my cat, his name is Bob, not Lily.

    Mate, an absolutely top job. I'll be making one of these for a customer. If I was to make one criticism, it would be the exposed pocket holes. I'll be filling them in with a bit of putty. But, overall, I think it turned out fantastic. Keep them coming mate.

    Built By Chris could you design with the pocket holes on the outside and cover with the trim work? In other words, a plywood box with the pocket holes on outside, and finish the outside with trim which would cover the joinery?

    I am worried about the weight of it using 3/4 inch plywood, if I change some of the demensions would there be any reason I couldn't use 1/2 inch plywood instead. also I like to have it 21 inch deep instead of 15 inch deep. would I have to widen the pieces you add to the external sides.

    Thanks! If you'd like to make the legs larger, I would recommend using a much thicker block so you have more material to work with. If you just need them taller, just use a wider board.
