Cut list/buy list

---------------Buy (I used pine but any wood would be beautiful):--------
12 - 2x4s (I had extra)
5 - 1x2s (I had extra)
1 - 4x8 sheet 3/4 plywood
1 - 4x8 sheet 5mm plywood

----------------------Cuts:---------------------------
I started by milling all my 2x4s to
1-1/4” x 3” and then the lengths I need for the bars to 1-1/4" x 2" (you don’t have to do the same but will have to adjust some measurements to get similar results)


Bars: (cut a few extra as backups and testers)
***14 @ 1-1/4” x 2” cut @ 9” long

Door:
***3 @ 1-1/4” x 2” cut @ 16-1/8” long(Door bars)
***2 @ 1-1/4” x 2” cut @ 19” long
***2 @ 1-1/4” x 2” cut @ 20-1/8” long

Legs:
***4 @ 1-1/4” x 3” cut @ 29-1/4” long (each with two special cuts)

Special cuts:

(Back legs only) Slot is 1/2” deep, 9-1/4” long, and about 3/16” wide (might take several passes to sneak up to fit the 5mm plywood) starts 5-1/2” up from the bottom of the leg and 1-1/8” in from the backside) (see diagram for dimensions)

Stopped rabbet on back legs start 5-1/2” up from bottom, runs 9-1/4” long and is 1/2” wide. Depth setting should be done with your router (around 5mm or 1/8”)

Special cuts on 4 Rails :

1/2” wide rabbet, runs entire distance of rail at 3/16” deep (5mm plywood)

Front/Rear Rails:
***5 @ 1-1/4” x 3” cut @ 23-1/4” long (2 with special cuts)
