Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

Craft boards
Hi Irabhan,
These are the craft boards from Lowes that will work nicely for this project. I always pick them out in person to make sure they are nice and flat.

Craft board?
Lowe's no longer carries the craft board. I can not find it anywhere else. Would 1x 2 and 1x3 poplar be a good substitute?
I want to build this for my wife.
