This project is easy, anyone with a bit of basic knowledge can make it no problem. There's also a million different ways to customize it...so go wild with your imagination. Let me know if you made it and how it turned out!
Hey man when making those cuts with your miter gauge and cross cut sled around the 1:10 mark, I would recommend having some type of 1 inch spacer block on the inside of the fence, and adding 1 inch to your fence dimensions. It’s not a good idea to make crosscuts with the stock flush with the fence, it’s a known issue to cause kickbacks or other problems
I try to be as quick and easy as possible... ask my fiance! haha sorry bad joke but I couldnt resist. Thank you for watching and I appreciate the support!
what did you do to get the screw flush on the back of the board, when connecting the shelf to the backboard ? looks like you use a special bit ? or is that a phillips head?
Yes I just used a phillips head screw and drove it in so it was a tiny bit counter sunk. Pine is super soft and its quite easy to do this. On something harder like oak or maple, I would use an actual countersink drill bit to pre-drill and prevent cracking.
Thanks for that awesome video! What are the finished dimensions of the small coat rack? How wide is the shelf and how many inches apart are the hooks? I have a very small space to work with. Thanks so much!
I am extremely late to the party on this one, truly sorry! LOL... I have a few different variations on it, all of the details are listed on my website or my Etsy shop page. The back is made from a 1x10 which is really 3/4" thick and 9.25" wide. The shelf is a 1x4 (3/4" x 3.5") and the hooks are 4.5" apart. I hope this helps....2 years later
Thank you! Honestly, it all depends on the size. If you’re curious I have a shop on Etsy under the same name or just shoot me a private message and I’ll gladly answer any questions you may have! 👍
i want to just go for it, should I give the dimensions to the people at home depot? I dont have access to any of those tools, and im kind of intimidated to buy them and not know what to do with them.
