How To Build Lockers For A Mudroom

We recently added on to our house and in this video I take you through the steps of how to build lockers for a mudroom! You saw us tile the space a while back and we are finally in the final stages of finishing the new space so it was time to move TWO of these giant lockers into the new Mudroom.

BIG thanks to Rockler for sponsoring this video, used SO many Rockler jigs that I have had for a long time to solve some tricky issues with this build. Be sure to visit their store locations or site for all your woodworking needs!

Each locker is made from 2 sheets of 1/4" plywood, 2 sheets of 1/2" plywood and 5 sheets of 3/4" plywood and they are NOT light, very heavy and very sturdy! The are edged with solid maple edge banding to hopefully add some durability to the corners.

The doors over the 5 locker cubbies are shaker style with a solid poplar frame and 1/4" plywood as the panel. I will cover the building of the doors in an additional video as I think there is a lot of good information that I can share and I was out of time in this video. All the hardware for the doors are soft close euro hinges from Rocker, they are probable my favorite part of the whole build (besides the finish!)

The 5 drawers are made from 1/2" plywood using simple butt joints with wood glue and 18g brad nails. The drawer faces are made using the same shaker style as the door faces. I opted to spray a clear coat of poly on the drawers as I like the look of the natural wood when you open the drawer.

The locker cabinets and the drawer/door faces are finished with a water-born lacquer from Sherwin- Williams. It is called Kem Aqua Plus and it is FANTASTIC, laid down perfectly with no thinning, dried to sanding in no time, doesn't smell at all and as far as we can tell is super durable.
