Filing cabinet out of pallets?
I would like to make a filing cabinet out of pallets. I found instructions on updating a file cabinet but not how to build one from scratch. Any help for a novice?

Dear Lynette,
What are your skills ?
Do you have a planer, drill press, sander, table saw, router or access to these tools ?

I have little to no experience, but I am pretty handy. We do have a sander, table saw, skill saw, and the little vibration saw.

You still need a planer or the cabinet will look like a Flintstone cartoon creation..

You need to be able to smooth the pallet wood.
Glue together edge to edge enough planks to make the sides of a 4 sides box, size it to suit your documents.
Add internal rails for the draws to sit on.
Make draws, a box without a lid.
Screw everything together at the edges.
