My latest DIY project.......976g

This DIY chest of drawers takes up a very small floor area but has a huge amount of storage

 

I've been short of storage so I decided to make a multiple drawer unit mainly to store my tools and other small bits and pieces.

 

Most drawers you buy are too deep and you end up either with half empty drawers or drawers stuffed with thinngs on top of each other so it's difficult to find things.

 

With that in mind the unit has mainly thin drawers. There are four 5 cm deep drawers, Three 7 cm deep drawers and one 10 cm drawer.

 

The drawers are 44 cm wide and 53 cm long. The unit stands 59 cm tall.

 

The drawer have 1/4 plywood bases and pine fronts/sides/backs.

 

The main structure of the unit is MDF

 

The whole unit took 2 hours to make.

 

I haven't put a top on the unit yet

 

Costs were as follows ( at 01.02.19 )

 

Drawers £14

 

Drawer runners £7

 

Drawer handles £4

 

Outer unit £5

 

Total cost £30
