This is a set of drawers I made a couple of years back. For the Garage.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Nov 13, 2014 2:27 PM CT

Good job nordraw. How many plywood sheets you needed for that?

NordrawMember since Dec 2012Nov 15, 2014 3:25 PM CT

I can’t really remember. It was one full 4 by 8 most likely.
