Our bathroom has very little extra floor space so the scale has been leaning up against the wall.

Taking adavtage of extra wall space behind the door to safely store the scale.

I constructed it like a very short drawer. Cherry sides with 3/16" plywood bottom.

That’s gorgeous. How did you cut the grooves / notches? Table saw?

[–] DavidP@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago

Router table but yeah a table saw would do it too.

I'm not sure how OP did it, but a dado blade set on a table saw is how I would do it.

You could also use a router.

Beautiful and I like those joints. May I ask how you attached the bottom to it? And is everything just glued?

[–] DavidP@midwest.social 3 points 8 months ago

There's a groove on the insides of the walls that the plywood fits into.

Plain wood glue for the corners but the bottom is not glued in order to let the sides move with humidity changes.
