Start by cutting out all your boards, as listed above. Always use glue and 2″ nails, unless otherwise instructed.

Step 1

Nail through the outsides of A, the sides, into the end edges of B, the Bottom Shelf, as shown above.

Step 2

Nail the footer, C, in place as shown above. Make sure you nail through the sides, A, and the bottom, B.

Step 3

Nail through the sides of A into the header, D, as shown above. Keep top and outside edges flush.

Step 4

Add the front, E, as shown above. Use the 2″ nails to nail through the sides, A,into the edges of E, but use 1 1/4″ nails to nail through the back of E into the back of the header, D.

Step 5

Cut out the hole in the center of E, as shown above. The hole shown above is 7″ in diameter. Then add the plywood to the back with the 1 1/4″ nails. Then use the 2″ nails to secure the top, G, to the washer.

Step 6

Cut out the shape above, the circle part being a 7 1/2″ diameter, and the trim around the window 1″ wide. From the back, predrill and use short screws to screw the plexiglass to the back side of the door. Attach with hinges when the finish is complete.

Step 7

Attach knobs and handles as desired. Don’t forget a magnetic clasp on the door!

Cute.
I'm thinking of making both unites as one and hinging the entire front of it. She can use it as a closet for her dress up (princess) clothes.

How do you make the circles

How do you make the circles on the wood in front of the machines and is there another suggestion for the doors besides the circles.
