So due to limited storage in our house, my wife requires we keep her wedding dress in my "gun room" (i.e., closet). It is in a sealed cardboard type box now, about 4x2x2. I don't have room to put in an entire metal shelf unit due to the slanted ceilings, so I need another solution.
I am thinking a simple wooden box around it (or at least three sides of it, but I guess that is just a shelf) so I can stack important things (food, water, ammo, etc.) on top of it without crushing it. Unfortunately I am no carpenter. I could build you a 4x4 if you gave me (2) 2x4s, but that is about it.
I already watched this: https://www.lowes.com/creative-ideas/woodworking-and-crafts/how-to-build-a-box/project , but I think I need to build one that is bigger and stronger, lol. Something that won't be crushed with up to 500lbs on top of it.
What say ye master carpenters?! Suggestions?
Basically I was thinking it would be a fun, simple project to learn on and have my son watch too (hopefully he doesn't pick up too many new curse words). Provided it can be done with relatively simple tools. Maybe have Lowe's do the basic cuts?
