I don't know almost you, but I've been actually into stacking piles of rings on my hands lately together with I'm loving it! The exclusively occupation comes when I guide keep them off together with they become scattered across (and autumn behind) my dresser each night. I've been looking for a unproblematic picayune habitation for my rings thus I decided to brand a shallow, standing shelf for them. It's the perfect mix of simple, natural, together with geometric.
What y'all need:
-Paper
-Pencil
-Ruler
-2 pieces of 1/2x2x36" wood
-Mitersaw
-Nail Gun (short, sparse nails together with a hammer would piece of work every bit well)
-Stain (optional)
-Plywood (optional)
-Scroll Saw
How to brand it:
-Use your ruler to sketch out the cast y'all would similar to brand your shelf on a large slice of paper.
-Lay your arts and crafts board on your drawing alongside ane of the 1/2" edges lined upwards alongside the business y'all already sketched out together with line along the other side. So y'all tin come across where each slice of woods should lay ane time y'all pose it together.
These were my measurements:
Bottom slice eleven 3/4" transcend together with bottom edges
Left side, pocket-size triangle seven 1/4" exterior edge, vi 1/8" within edge
Right side, pocket-size triangle vi 3/4" exterior edge, vi 3/16" within edge
Inside shelf, pocket-size triangle ii 3/4" transcend edge, 3 5/16" bottom edge
Left side, large triangle v 5/8" exterior edge, v 1/2" within edge
Right side, large triangle 8 5/8" exterior edge, 8 1/16" within edge
Small shelf, large triangle 1 7/8" transcend edge, ii 3/8" bottom edge
Large shelf, large triangle iv 3/16" transcend edge, iv 2/16" bottom edge
-To become your angles, lay the woods it's topographic point on the drawing together with brand a score on each side where it volition come upwards to a point. Now depict a business connecting these marks across the curt side of the wood. Repeat for each piece. (Tip: If you're having a difficult fourth dimension marker out the angles this way, y'all tin also assay this technique: http://www.finehomebuilding.com/item/25809/accurately-cut-miter-angles-without-using-measuring-tools)
-Adjust your miter saw to tally the angle y'all necessitate together with thus cutting each piece. (The angles volition vary thus cheque it against the business y'all marked out for each angle earlier cutting.)
-Lay out all of your pieces to brand certain that they tally together together with thus stain them together with allow them dry. (If they don't seem to business upwards correctly, lay out the ones that produce tally together with re-mark together with re-cut the ones that don't.)
-Nail your pieces together.
-If y'all desire the dorsum to live open, you're finished! If y'all desire a plywood back, line the exterior of your cast that is all nailed together onto or thus plywood.
-Use a scroll saw to cutting out the shape.
-Stain the back, allow it dry, together with blast to the dorsum of your triangles.
