It is very important to have professional looking doors that will last through everyday use. Build It & Mrs.Cabinet doors are the face of a finished project. But we’re calling it a WIN anyways!Ĭheck out these other awesome Scrap Wood projects from our buildy blogger friends! So I know that a scrap wood shoe cabinet is a stretch since A) it’s not scrap wood, it’s ‘melamine’, and B) it’s a pretty decent size build for being built with scrap wood. And it’s making us want to whip one out for the kiddos too! Wouldn’t a mini shoe cabinet be adorable? The truth is, this scrap wood shoe cabinet turned out AMAZING. This will be such a lifesaver for corralling our shoes, and will give us more floor space in our closet now that our shoes have a place to call home. Shoutout to our friend Miki that let us borrow her Hunter boots for our photoshoot! ? Stand up and admire your battle tank of a shoe storage solution! Lastly, screw on the back.įinally, add your hardware of choice! Boom, done! Then screw the bottom on (pocket holes on the bottom). Lay it face down and slide the shelf onto the dowel/hinge, then clamp the back on (pocket holes on the outside). Don’t be a Nick, assemble one of the sides to the top (pocket holes on the bottom). However, what you don’t see is how bad I struggled to get some of the pocket holes screwed. It’s time to assemble the carcass! You can see here that we essentially screwed everything together.

Using a scrap as a spacer we screwed the stops 3/4″ from the front of the shoe cabinet carcass top. We drilled a couple holes in each piece with a 1/8″ drill bit and counterbored with a 1/4″ drill bit. We used Titebond original and don’t actually recommend you ingest it, it’s for wood, NOT humans.Īdd a couple small pieces 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ pieces of Melamine to the bottom of the shoe cabinet carcass top to act as a stop for the cabinet door. The only glue on this project is for the dowels, here you go dowels, drink it up. Grab that 3/8″ forstner bit and drill holes for the dowels in the shoe cabinet sides. Let us set that bad boy off to the side and get to the main carcass, shall we? We did this with a angle gauge.įinally some assembly, BRING ON THE ASSEMBLY!Ĭlamp the shelf bottom to the shelf sides and then using 1 1/4″ course thread screws attached the sides to the front.Īfter removing the shelf bottom from the shelf assembly, we attached the shelf bottom to the shelf back and screwed the shelf dividers to the side and bottom using these trim head screws. Wanting these to be straight and parallel, we clamped the front to our bench, ensuring it was parallel and perpendicular to the drill shaft. While we had the drill out, we drilled the 3/8″ holes for the dowels on the front. With the template, we laid out where the shoe shelf boards will be applied and drill the holes using an 1/8″ drill bit. Using this sweet Castle 100, we routed and drilled our pocket holes, ohhh so clean. Next, edge band all the required edges using this edge banding and a basic clothing iron. I traced it out onto the melamine and cut them out using a bandsaw, then sanded it to its final shape with a oscillating drum sander, finally cut the angle with a angle jig. Once all the stock is cut to size, we cut out a template for the sides. They are all weird angles, using this Wixey Angle Gauge really helps out, however you could always make the shelves narrower and not fit as cleanly in the shoe shelf. Start by cutting all the sheet stock to size. We happened to have several scraps of melamine laying around, but if you need to buy a sheet here is how it lays out.

You know the drill, download these plans HERE Of course the kicker was that it needed to be done in less than a week in order to participate in this “scrap wood challenge” with all our blogging friends (see the end of this post to check out all the other scrap wood projects!). Beth asked if we could do something about our shoe situation in our closet….
