Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Pine, 2x4, 8 ft, Heavy-duty caster wheels
Screw the base together with 2-1/2" screws (or pocket holes at a 1-1/2" setting with 2-1/2" pocket hole screws), checking for square. Add the caster wheels at this stage — waiting until later makes wheel access awkward.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Pine, 2x4, 8 ft, Pine, 2x4, 10 ft

Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Plywood, 1/2", 4x8 sheet
Place the plywood floor panels between the walls and screw down with 1-1/2" screws.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Miter Saw. Materials: Pine, 1x4, 8 ft
Add cross bracing to keep the walls square, screwing on with 1-1/2" screws.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Pine, 1x4, 8 ft, Plywood, 1/2", 4x8 sheet
For additional support and storage of smaller plywood pieces, screw 1x4 trim around the top panel.
