Materials

- 1×3 boards for the sides of the drawers  - 3/4″ wood dowels  - 3/4″ Forstener bit - Waterproofing finish  - 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws - Drawer slides   - Plywood or 1×5 boards

Step 1: Make the cut

Make the cuts for the drawer sides based on your measurements.

Step 2: Make the holes for the dowel

Calculate the number of dowel holes you want in the rack. This takes a little math. I used 3/4″ dowels and spaced them out at 2.5″.

Step 3: Seal the dowel

Seal the dowels well using a spray waterproofing finish.
