With the help of the following instructions you can build a washing machine base cabinet from sturdy oak wood.

Cut the wood for the washing machine base cabinet

1. Since your washing machine base cabinet has to withstand a lot of stress, use 5 cm thick oak wood as a building material. Cut the base plate and the cover plate of the washing machine cabinet to the dimensions 80 cm x 100 cm. The two side parts are each cut to a size of 80 cm x 60 cm.
2. Cut a door from 1 cm thick oak wood to the dimensions 100 cm x 60 cm. You can buy two large screw hinges as well as a door handle and a locking mechanism for this door at your trusted hardware store. Your washing machine base cabinet does not have a back wall, so that you can easily access the water supply of your washing machine.

Assemble the lockable piece of furniture
