Project Information
Made these crates so I had some more storage capability. Added cleats to the underside to make these stackable and it works like a dream. Precisely placed and sized the cleats to prevent any side to side or front to back movement. For the ends I use some 3/4" birch plywood from HD. Drilled a few holes to define the ends of the hand holds and made a pattern for the hand cutout and used router equipped with a bearing guided flush cut bit to cut to final size. Side slats are 1×4 pine firring strips from HD cut to length and attached with glue and brads. No finish was applied since these are just for the shop. I used these when I moved and they worked great, held quite a few tools and misc. shop clutter. Dimensions are 13" wide x 13" tall x 19" long
