I also sawed a kerf along this piece.
Diy lockers with doors.
To create the illusion of having 4 separate lockers i added a 1 inch wide piece of oak to the edge of doors 1 and 3.
Hide the battery pack in the bottom of your locker and string the lights up in a random pattern.
Attach trim to plywood with wood glue and nails from the backside.
If you plan to stain your lockers and use hardwood plywood such as oak or birch and hardwood doors you ll spend about 150 per locker.
Apply dap alex flex caulk to any corners and edges of the doors for a finished look.
On a row of the mudroom lockers with doors only the outer sides of the end lockers show so you can use inexpensive plywood for the inner parts and more expensive material for the outer parts.
Chamfer or sand edges of mdf trim for a finished look.
To finish i used an antique oil finish with no color added.
Fill all nail holes and imperfections with dap plastic wood x and sand smooth.
The entire project is done including the pocket door storage lockers trimming out the doors and doorway and installing floor to ceiling wainscot.
Here i used a fun teal dot pattern to cover the inside of the door and the back of the locker.
It really brought out the natural beauty of the wood.
