Thanks

downloading
the
DIY
PETE
Hutch
plans.
This
is
a
great
piece
of
furniture
that
can
be
used
for
storage
in
the
mudroom,
as
a
locker
room
style
hutch
for
a
kid’s
bedroom,
or
to
hold
all
sorts
of
toys
in
the
rec
room.

complete
Youtube
video
and
project

Circular
Saw
–
I
use
a
Dewalt
20
Volt
Cordless
Saw
(Ryobi
also
makes
a
less
expensive
saw).
Drill
–
I
use
both
Dewalt
and
Ryobi
drills.
Kreg
Jig
–
The
K4
is
was
I
have.
Miter
Saw
–
I’d
recommend
a
12
inch
miter
saw.
Orbital
Sander
–
Dewalt
makes
a
nice
one.
Nailer
–
I
used
the
Ryobi
Airstrike
nailer
for
this
project.
But
you
can
use
a
normal
air
nailer
compressor
kit
or
old
fashioned
hammer.
Tape
Measure,
Ruler,
Pencil
Optional:
Clamps
–
Clamps
are
helpful
for
any
project.
I
love
to
use
JackClamps.
Kreg
Jig
Face
Clamp
–
Very
handy.
Kreg
Jig
Right
Angle
Clamp
–
A
must!
Straight
Edge
–
This
is
not
100%
necessary
for
this
project
but
it
helps
make
the
circular
saw
cuts
straight.
Kreg
Jig
Rip
–
Super
handy
for
making
straight
cuts
Square
Safety
equipment
(dust
mask,
rubber
gloves,
safety
glasses,

Step
1
Measure
and
cut
the
plywood
down
to
size
for
the
lower
bench
and
cubbies.
Cut
the
bench
top
and
lower
portion
out
of
the
first
sheet.
Cut
the
remaining
6
pieces
from
the
second
sheet
of
plywood.
I’d
recommend
using
a
circular
saw
and
a
straight
edge
to
help
with
the
process.
You
will
have
a
total
of
8
boards
to
cut
from
the
plywood.
Make
sure
to
use
good
quality
3/4
inch
plywood.

Assemble
the
lower
bench
and
cubbies
using
pocket
holes.
Set
your
Kreg
Jig
to
the
3/4
inch
stock
settings
and
get
out
your
1
1/4
inch
long
Kreg
Jig
screws.Drill
the
pocket
holes
on
the
top
and
bottom
side
of
the
4
smaller
boards.
Drill
pocket
holes
only
on
the
top
sides
of
the
two
larger
end
boards.
Use
a
ruler
and
a
straight
edge
to
evenly
space
out
all
boards.
I’d
recommend
using
wood
glue
in
addition
to
the
1
1/4
inch
kreg
screws.
www.diypete.com/patiobar

Start
with
an
end
board
and
attach
it
to
the
underside
of
the
bench
using
3
kreg
jig
screws
that
are
1
¼
inch
long.
The
bench
top
will
have
a
¾
inch
overhang
on
the
left
and
right
side.
Measure
down
14
and
11/16
inches
and
then
place
the
next
board.
www.diypete.com/patiobar
5
Step
3
Attach
the
lower
shelf
on
both
sides
and
to
each
vertical
divider.
Use
1
¼
inch
kreg
screws.
Make
sure
the
shelf
is
level.
www.diypete.com/patiobar
6
Step
4
Attach
1×4’s
to
the
base
of
the
lower
unit.
This
gives
it
a
nice
bold
look
and
strengthens
the
furniture.
Attach
the
1×4’s
using
pocket
holes
and
Kreg
Jig
screws.
FYI:
A
couple
of
the
pocket
hole
icons
are
missing
on
the
apron
diagram
below.

Step

Cut
1×2
trim
with
a
miter
saw
and
then
attach
using
a
nailer.
I’ve
been
using
Ryobi
Airstrike
Nailers
and
have
been
super
impressed
with
them.
They
are
battery
powered
so
I
don’t
have
to
deal
with
cords
and
air
compressor
noise.
I
used
1
1/2
inch
18
gauge
brad
nails.
You
could
use
a
normal
hammer
and
nails
if
you
do
not
have
an
air
nailer.
Center
the
trim
pieces
on
the
4
dividers.
The
two
outer
pieces
will
sit
flush
with
the
outside
board.
*Note
the
5
horizontal
pieces
should
be
glued
and
then
nailed
at
an
angle
to
each
divider.
You
could
also
nail
from
the
top
and
then
fill
the
nail
holes
with
putty.
This
is
the
one
part
of
the
design
I
would
change
if
I
built
it
again.
(I’d
use
one
piece
of
trim
along
the
entire
top
horizontal
span).
Nonetheless,
the
method
in
the
plans
will
work
just
fine.

Now
it’s
time
to
work
on
the
upper
section
of
the
hutch.
I
used
1x12x6
boards
and
cut
them
down
to
size.
A
straight
edge
and
circular
saw
will
work
well.
You
could
also
use
a
miter
saw.

Cut
the

to
cover
both
the
upper

units
separately.
This

Cut
the

board
using
a
circular

using
a

You
will

You
can
either
use
the

attach
flat

to
securely
attach
