This step by step diy woodworking project is about cordless drill charging station plans. If you want to learn more about building a tool station we recommend you to pay attention to the instructions described in the article. Check out the rest of the woodworking projects, as there are many plans to choose from and many ideas to use for your home.

Before starting the actual construction project, we recommend you to plan everything, as to save money and to keep the costs under control. Adjust the size and the design of the charging station to suit your needs. In addition, we recommend you to invest in high-quality materials, such as pine, redwood or cedar, as they have a nice finish and are highly durable, especially in a humid environment.

If you don’t have a rich expertise in woodworking field, you should ask a friend to give you a hand with the project. There are many things that you could go wrong, so make sure you plan everything and invest in quality materials. Select the lumber with attention, making sure the components are perfectly straight and in a very good condition. Use a carpentry square to check if the corners are right-angled.

Building a drill charging station

Building the side components

The first step of the woodworking project is to build the sides of the charging station. Mark the cut lines on a piece of 3/4″ plywood and get the job done by using a jigsaw. Smooth the edges with fine-grit sandpaper and remove the residues with a damp cloth.

Building a drill charging station

Build the shelves out of 3/4″ plywood. Cut the components t the right size and drill pocket holes along the side and back edges. Fit the shelves between the side components, align the edges, make sure the corners are square and insert 1 1/4″ screws. Add glue to the joints for a durable bond. Alternatively, you could drill pilot holes through the sides and insert 1 5/8″ screws into the shelves.

Attaching the back of the stand

Next, fit the back component to the structure and check if the edges are flush one with another. Insert finishing nails to secure the back to the structure in a professional manner.

Building the drawer

Build the frame of the drawer out of 1×4 lumber and the bottom out of 3/4″ plywood. Drill pilot holes and insert 1 5/8″ screws to create a rigid frame. Afterwards, fit the bottom to the drawer and secure it into place by inserting finishing nails.

Fitting the drawer

Wax the bottom of the drawer and fit it inside the opening. Attach the handle to the drawer and center it to the structure.

Last but not least, we recommend you to take care of the finishing touches. Fill the holes with wood filler and let it to dry out for several hours. Afterwards, smooth the wooden surface with fine-grit sandpaper and vacuum the residues.
