How to Make a Mudroom Built-In

hey guys my name is Nick soil with Stoia wood design I want to welcome you to my new youtube channel and really appreciate you taking the time to see what this is all about look forward to sharing some upcoming DIY bills with you as well as some locally commissioned pieces that I'll be doing for clients here in the Indianapolis area so in this first episode here I've recently pleaded a DIY built in for a mudroom so I'm gonna walk through the process with you how I constructed this this pretty large project and got it transported over to a client's house and we'll show you some results so stick with us let me know what you think in the comments below and thanks for watching I started this project out by taking my two 1 by 8 pine boards and ripping them down to their finished size of 1 by 6 on my Delta table saw I then went ahead and sanded them down with 120 grit sandpaper followed by using my Kreg jig r3 to drill in some 3/4 inch pocket hole screws which I would use along with some pipe bomb wood glue to join my bench top together before the actual glue up I went ahead and decided to insert my 3/4 inch pocket hole screws just so I wouldn't have to go back and try to get those in quickly once the glue was already set in the joint with the benchtop complete i can now move on to ripping down my 3/4 inch plywood sheets to their approximate size using my boss circular saw and bore a 55 inch track clamp really looking forward to making the investment into a dedicated tracks all year in the near future I think that will help a lot with dust collection as well as health insurer I'm a king the most accurate that's possible [Music] with the plywood sheets cut down to their correct height that could go ahead and take them over to my table saw and rip them down to their final width this would make up of the top and bottom support braces or with the top and bottom supports complete I could then move on to ripping down some plywood for the top of the built in as well as the back of the bottom unfortunately my 55 inch clamp cannot extend to 96 inches so I had to go ahead and draw an approximate line I gave myself about two inches of play rip those down and then finished up the final width on my table saw [Music] unless I had both the top and back support pieces cut down to their final width I went ahead and took them over to the Bosch miter saw and cut them down to their finally with the main support pieces complete I could then move on to drilling my pocket holes for both the top and bottom support pieces I used my Kreg jig k5 pocket assistant for this as well as flip it up to my shop back this really helps to speed up the process as well as minimize cleanup in the long run once I had all my three quarter inch pocket holes drilled I then went ahead and sanded down all my pieces with 120 grit sandpaper with the pre-work complete I could then move on to the fun portion of this project and that was assembly I started with the bottom of the built-in I grabbed the back support piece along with the five front support pieces thankfully I did have the Kraig automatics right angle clamp to help you with this process as you can see the back support piece was an actual a little bowed so this right angle clamp really helped me to keep my five front pieces in line flush and in place while I drilled in my inch and a quarter pocket hole screws once complete I moved on to the upper part of the built-in and followed the same process [Music] with both frames assembled I can then move on to ripping down some half-inch sheets of plywood for the back of the upper built in unfortunately due to the size of the piece I did have to use two sheets of half-inch plywood as you can see here I'm using my Bosch circular saw with bore a clamp to cut these down to the correct length I then had to run the bottom panel through my dealt the table saw to get it to the correct width with both half-inch sheets of plywood cut through their correct dimension I went back to my Craig our three jig and drilled some pocket holes so I can secure them together with the back panel complete I then secured it to the back of the upper builtin using 18 gauge brad nails [Music] next I ripped some two-and-a-half inch strips of 3/4 inch plywood down on my table saw and then took it over to my miter saw and cut them down to their final length I then glued and Brad nailed these two pieces to the top of the upper built in this allowed me to mount my crown molding flush with the 1 by 2 trim I was going to be installing shortly [Music] next I cut the five vertical trim pieces to length then glued and Brad nailed into place and then repeated the same process for the lower built in starting with the horizontal trim runner followed by the five vertical trim pieces I then enlisted the help of my wife Victoria to help me hold the front-facing crown molding strip in place while I secured with 18 gauge brad house [Music] with the installation of the crown molding complete I then cut to link some three quarter inch trim pieces to attach to the sides of the built-in this would act as a layer to cover up the plywood layers so they could not be seen with the overall construction complete I began the process of prepping the built-in for paint I started by caulking all of the cracks and filling all of my Brad nail holes with wood filler next I used my Greco trucoat 360 DSP sprayer to apply two coats of primer followed by two additional coats of paint which was provided by the customer with the painting complete I enlisted the help of my sister Katie to help me stain the remaining one by six pine boards before we cut them to length and attach them to the built in using glue and 18 gauge brad nails [Music] with the upper portion of the built in nearly complete the final steps were to add the eighth coat hooks to the built-in four of which went on to the pine boards with four more attaching to these sides of the vertical support braces and finally the last step of this project was to install the bench top using inch and 1/4 pocket hole screws [Music] and with that this project is complete I couldn't be more happy with how this project turned out the customer loved the built in once we got it installed on their home I've included a couple pictures so you can see the end result and I really appreciate you taking the time to view again thank
