GETTING
STARTED
The lumber
requirements for the project as shown here include 11'-6"
of 2" x 2" stock, 27 board feet of 3/4" thick stock and another
27 board feet of 1/4" thick plywood. If you've decided to
make the storage unit that sits in the microwave area on the
lower shelf, you'll also need a half-sheet of 1/2" thick plywood.
Start by cutting all your stock to size. The 2x2's (actually
1-3/4" x 1-3/4") should be cut to exact length, while all
the 3/4" stock should be cut 1/16" over actual width, then
jointed to their exact width. The stock for the sides and
back of the drawer should be resawed on the bandsaw, then
jointed or planed to the final 1/2" thickness. With the stock
at its finished thickness and width, all the pieces should
be crosscut to their finished length.
NOTE:
Since all microwave ovens are not the same size, be sure to
measure your oven, check it against the measurements included
here and alter the sizes of any pieces as required to accommodate
the oven.
