Materials Needed

  • (3) 8′ 2x4s
  • Kreg pocket hole jig
  • 2 1/2″ Kreg pocket hole screws

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step One: Make Cuts and Drill Pocket Holes

Start by making all the necessary cuts from the 2x4s according to the dimensions provided in the free woodworking plans. These plans will include the exact lengths and angles needed for each piece. Once all the cuts are made, use the Kreg 720 Pro to drill pocket holes in the appropriate locations. The AutoMaxx clamping system on the Kreg 720 makes it quick and easy to swap pieces of wood while drilling.

Ensure that your cuts are precise and your pocket holes are correctly aligned. This accuracy is crucial for the stability and durability of your tool organizer. Take your time with this step to avoid mistakes that could compromise the structure.
