Inspiration, motivation and pallets ...
Well, a few nights ago I stayed up until well after midnight to finish the rough in wiring and insulating of my shop. I was tired, but I went to bed with a great feeling of accomplishment. I’ve done everything myself so far, and as a female,...

The back board can be wider and/or taller so it stops on the front frame. If the front is extended at the bottom it can ride in a slot to act as the hinge. With the back board even on the sides, you can cut a notch at the top rear of the side of the bin so you can lift up and pull the bin out.
For real-life service consider that the stuff inside will spoil and get juicy. Use the right wood and finish so this will not ruin the unit.
Good luck.

Teri, Hi again, I noticed you were dealing with a lack of heat in your shop and wanted to share a little tip I found that worked well enough here that no other heat is needed. I installed a small inexpensive cast iron stove (about $168.00) and burned cutoffs for heat as well as branches and other scrap. The box is enclosed and reduces the risk of dust explosion or fire. It is even safer if you spring for the triple walled stove pipe (about $50.00 a 3’ section). It is expensive but worth it for the increased safety and efficiency. I heat a 1234 square foot space with the smallest unit. I hung backer board on the wall (concrete floor) and covered that with brick. A small brick job is easy enough for a novice to complete after a little reading. You can see my heater in my shop pics if you like.
