Re: Project: "$40 Console with Storage"

Now its time for actual construction of the console.

Take the template apart and trace it onto plywood and cut it out. I just used a cheap jigsaw.



More Test fitting. get the measurements between the 2 sides at the back, middle, and front. Cut braces to length and screw the 2 sides together.



For cutting the tops and faces, I used some scrap wood, Laid it where it needed to by and drew the lines from the underside to ensure an exact fit. Cut them out and Glue/screw them together.



I wanted to make a removable storage box under the arm rest so I cut a basic box to fit into this compartment.



Then cut the Lid for it.



Test fit the hinges



Find a good spot for all of you accessories, draw and cut the holes for them



I wanted the rounded corners to be smoother so I stapled some cheap folders to smooth the curves. Then cut the excess.
