Kreg K5 Storage Cabinet with T-Track Clamps
Step-by-step build — 11 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
1Step 1: The Base
cut the base to to final with a tracksaw (or jigsaw) and a table saw.

2Step 2: Diagonal Lines
Mark the diagonal lines according to the image. Then cut out the lines with a track saw or jigsaw.

3Step 3: Handles and Through Hole
Using a combo square and a standard square, mark each cross hair for the handles, through hole. The slots will receive a 5/16” hole and a 1” forstner bit is used for the handles and through hole. Drill out the holes accordingly with a drill press or regular drill.

4Step 4: Slots (Optional)
- Mark out the slots for the t-track bolts. The will receive a 5/16" hole. The slots are spaced 25" on center to fit my tracks on my workbench.
- Adjust the spacings accordingly to your sit up. If you do not wish to use the slots, there is plenty of space to use clamps on the base.
- Drill out the holes with a Drill Press or regular drill.

5Step 5: Marking The Lines
- Use a straight edge ruler and connect the top and bottom of each hole.
- Then use a jigsaw to cut the lines.
- Then add a 1/8” roundover to the base, handles, and through hole.

6Step 6: Size the Base Supports
- To size the support bases, use a flat surface with a straight edge. I used my table fence.
- First place, the K5 between the fence and the blade, move the fence until the blade barely touches the side.
- Then rip the stock.
- Next, butt up a piece of stock to the fence, then place the K5 on top.
- Mark a line at the front of the K5 and the cross cut the stock. This will give you exact reference measurements.

7Step 7: Install K5
- Attach the jig supports by centering them flush with the back of the base. Use glue and staples to secure them.
- Then attach the K5 Jig.

8Step 8: Cabinet Assembly
Assemble the cabinets with glue and staples. You can also use pocket holes if you choose.

9Step 9: Install The Cabinet
- Next, install each cabinet structure to the base. Use glue and flush up the front of the cabinet structure with the front of the jig base support. Toe nail a crown staple into the inside front of the cabinet side.
- Then staple the rest of the structure from the bottom. Be careful not misfire a staple into the drawer cavity, as it will be really difficult to remove.
- Add a 1/8” Roundover to the top of the material supports.

10Step 10: Build the Drawers
The parts for the drawer boxes are listed in the cut list. However, measure each opening before cutting. I made the boxes out of poplar but you can use plywood if you choose. Each part is sized 1/16” shorter than the drawer opening so the drawer can slide easier. The drawer bottom is 1/2” shorter than the front to back measurement to allow space for the drawer front. All the parts are attached to the drawer bottom with glue and pin nails.

11Step 11: Install Drawer Pulls
- Find the center of each drawer front by marking diagonal line from each corner.
- Drill a hole in the center point.
- Then poke the pull bolt through the hole and screw on the handles. Use a screw driver to tighten the bolts. Install the drawers and fill them up with your Kreg accessories!
