Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: Pine, 1x12, 8 ft
Build the box from the 1x12 top, sides, and bottom, using pocket holes or 1-1/4" brad nails and glue. Every joint on this build gets reinforced — a toy stove takes more abuse per square inch than most furniture in the house.
Tools: Brad Nailer. Materials: Plywood, 1/4", 24" x 24"
Attach the back to the sides, top, and bottom. Use shorter (3/4") nails here — longer nails tend to split out the sides and aren't needed just to tack the back on. Keep the whole project square as you attach it.
Tools: Brad Nailer. Materials: Pine, 1x4, 8 ft
Attach the front top and bottom rail pieces with 1-1/4" nails and glue, checking for square again as you go.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: Pine, 1x3, 2 ft, Plexiglass, 8" x 16", Self-closing hinges, surface mount
Build the door panel, ideally with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. Attach the plexiglass window with 3/4" wood screws — just one in each corner is enough. Hang the door with self-closing hinges.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Pine, 1x2, 8 ft
Add optional feet to the base for a more finished, appliance-like stance.
Tools: Brad Nailer. Materials: Wood dowel pieces, 1" long, Wood rounds, 2" diameter, 3/4" thick
Cut wood scrap into grate shapes for the stovetop and nail them down with 1-1/4" nails and glue. Attach the wood-round burner knobs and dowel pieces last.
