Popular Post collinb Posted October 21, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Wife wants an entry-way closet unit instead of the old sliding doors (from 1967). Not certain why. :-) This first part is an upright to hold the ironing board & accessories, vacuum, and table leaf. Made of oak veneer plywood with glued-on oak strips (those 2 in "hobby" strips from HD), with a maple stain plus poly. (I don't prefer mixing stain/grain like that, but she's happy and it looks ok, I guess.) And a gap behind the shelf to accommodate the extra height needed for flag storage. Simple hidden hinges. A few things I might do differently if I had to do it over, but it came out ok. Next step is the shelf and coat hanger plus a box for boots & other winter stuff. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a test board first. That let me learn how to adjust them. Not really difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Looks mighty fine although I vaguely remember 1967 as being a pretty good year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
