To make the storage locker you demand to make ii boxes; one from timber to create depth and one from the picture fles which will hold the glass/acrylic fiber. This figure frame one bequeath be hinged onto the timber box.

To determine the sizing of you cabinet, put up out your survival items in their positions and measure the dimensions approximately your items.

Cut two smaller pieces of timber (for the width) and two larger pieces (for the length). They can be swerve at a 90 degree angle nonetheless I cut them at 45 degrees. Either direction, they can be screwed jointly to form a rectangle.

Cut the picture frame pieces to the same size as the timbre ones.

You should end up with 4 pieces of pallet timber and 4 pieces from the picture frame as shown in motion picture 4 supra.

Victimization the utility program knife, cut around these shapes and remove the nimiety foam to create individual positions for your items.

Blusher the backboard unclean for where each item will be positioned as seen in image 3 to a higher place.

Footmark 9: Total Your Survival Items
