Step 1: Cutting the Plywood
Jamison started by cutting the plywood using a track saw. If you don’t have one, he highly recommends investing in it as it simplifies the process of breaking down plywood, making it quicker, easier, and safer.
Step 2: Assembling the Back and Sides
Next, he moved on to assembling the back and sides. Doing this while standing up made it easier to work with the pocket hole clamp, ensuring tight corners and secure assembly.
Step 3: Installing the Top and Bottom
With the back and sides in place, Jamison laid the unit on its back on the workbench to install the top and bottom pieces. After that, he added two shelves using a center divider as a spacer.
Step 4: Finalizing the Divider and Shelves
Once the shelves were secured, he finished installing the divider. He noted that the top of the locker is dropped down by three-quarters of an inch to create a flush surface with the face frame, allowing for a tray effect on top.
Step 5: Installing the Face Frame
Now, it was time to move on to the face frame. Jamison laid everything out, marked it, and assembled it using pocket holes. He then secured it with brad nails for a clean finish.
Step 6: Finishing the Locker
For the finishing touch, he opted for Behr’s outdoor deck stain, which is tintable and has built-in waterproofing. He chose a semi-transparent version to enhance the appearance of the plywood while hiding any imperfections.
Step 7: Adding Turf to the Bottom
To complete the locker, Jamison installed turf at the bottom of the golf club spaces. He used a doormat from Amazon, which was affordable and added a nice touch to the overall design.
Conclusion
This double golf locker turned out beautifully and serves as a fantastic way to keep all golf essentials organized and tidy. Jamison encourages anyone interested in building their own to check out the full plans for this piece on his website.
