    Break down all of your pieces of plywood according to the cutlist included in the plans above

  2. 2Assemble Case

    Assemble the outer structure of the case using glue and a joinery method to increase the strength. Pocket holes are a great option here, but you can also use a doweling jig if you want the joinery to be hidden.

  3. 3Assemble Base

    Using pocket holes, assemble the base structure. I would recommend also using glue here (and in all of the other joints) to further increase the strength of the joint.

  4. 4Finish Case Assembly

    Attach the base to the bottom of the case, and insert the rest of the supports and shelves. Make sure your pieces are staying square as you glue them up so you don't have a warped looking media console!

  5. 5Attach back panel

    Attach the back panel to the main case to further strengthen the structure and keep things looking neat and clean. Glue works great here, but throwing in a few brad nails helps hold the panel in place while the glue dries

    After assembly, you can apply you choice of finish. Then you are done and ready to decorate the media console!
