Look at this mess if your entrances like mine have becomes a Dumping Ground for bags hats coats and all kinds of things but never fear I've got the perfect storage solution to end the front door pile up girls come and pick up your mess this is ridiculous I'm starting with the backing board and for that I'm using some rubber wood.
Timber that you can pick up from the hardware store it comes two point two long by 600 watt I've had Bunnings cut it down to size for me so now out of the off cut I'll cut a couple of shelves and the tip here is if you're not good at freehand cutting just use your level as a straight edge you can clamp it down and run your base plate of the saw up.
Against that making the shelves at 125 mil wide but they're going to be two different lengths one will be 625 and the other 500. the most important part of this project is the accuracy of the hole so with the.
Shelves cut in the backboard cut with the off cut I'm just going to be making a template the first thing I need to do is draw a center line and Mark out the positions of my holes with the holes marked out now I'm going to use a 22 mil spade bit to drill the holes now the most important part here.
Is to make sure that these holes are nice and square now the good thing about the spade bit is it will tell you whether you're holding the drill straight or not because if your holes deeper on one side it means the drill is not straight with our template complete we can now transfer these holes onto our backing.
Board now the great thing about this template it means that we don't have to draw a whole grid of where we need all our holes then we can just sit it in place when it lines up we clamp it up and drill the holes look at that all the holes are drilled now we just want to tidy it up so around.
The edges of our backing board and the shelves I'll be using a 10 mil round over bit in my trimmer and then I'll go over all these holes with some sandpaper and I'll be ready for waxing it's going to look brilliant foreign sanded now we're ready to fill in the.
Holes and for that I'm using this 22 mil tassy Oak down now the tip here is before we cut it to size which is 125 mil you want to sand it because it's a lot easier to do and it's in one piece with everything cut drilled routed and sanded we're now ready to finish it off with some wax now I'm not using it out.
Of a tin because we've got the chance of clogging up all these holes I'm using it out of a spray can it's nice and simple you just spray it on let it sit for a couple of minutes and then you can buff it off but you just want to remember to do both sides of this backing board that way you know that it's sealed and it'll never Warp.
thank you we've got our storage sorted out now we need to work out how we're going to hang it on the wall now instead of using screws I'm going to be making a multi-purpose backing board out of this 12 mil piece of ply to hang it on the.
Wall the first thing I need to do is cut a 45 degree angle along the whole length that's our multi-purpose board all cut up so the way this works this thin bit will get mounted to the wall and you want to have the Long Point facing out then these other bits get mounted to the backing board and you can see that they wedge into each other and that's what.
Will hold it to the wall now we just need to add some color so when you're moving the dowels around you get a nice pop before I add the color I've just got to go over it with an undercuting sealer with the undercoat dry we're now ready for some honeydew.
And remember this thin part doesn't go on the backing board it gets fixed to the wall and to fix it in place I'm just using these 28 mil screws with the multi-purpose backing board in place you can see how good it looks with this color just popping through all the holes and finally I'm going to position the shelves and the most important part.
Is he actually put screws through the shelves into the dowels that way it will never fall off foreign this would look fantastic in any entrance and the best part is it gets everything off the floor and out of the way.
