How To Make a Storage Chest | Beginner Woodworking Project

I built this easy DIY storage chest using pocket hole joinery. This is a great beginner woodworking project because it uses simple joinery. We are using this as an outdoor storage box, however this would also make a great indoor storage box for blankets and quilts. You could also use this as a DIY toy box or a storage bench. This is an easy woodworking project that can be made with minimal tools. I used my Massca M2 pocket hole jig (linked below) to build this project. Building with pocket holes makes woodworking projects that are strong and very approachable for beginner woodworkers and only requires basic tools.
