Shoe rack

So LOML has been going on about a better shoe rack

So i wanted to try out a few techniques for later on for better projects

Some worked some didnt end result was ok but some of it was a faf for not much benefit

So construction was 18mm hardwood ply and a mixture of pocket holes and half slot interlocks like those old wall ornament holders my nan had

Then i made a face frame of pine stained and varnished in what b and q called light oak whick looked more like yellow pine ( you live and learn)

I made the face frame using pocket holes had to make a jig to get repeatable joints

The face frame is fixed to the painted ply with glue and biscuits

Top is an old pine shelf i found in the reduced aisle and stained to match the face frame made a balls up and almost cut it too small so had to patch it

Last was a bit of architrave as i moulding for the base

The face frame was a faf i should have nailed it but i didnt want to see the fixings

And the half slot interlocking joints were a pain to cut and get spot on

Still it does the job ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

I like the backward-trip-through-the-build photos! :)

I've never yet made a shoe rack I've been happy with, but I saw one in Spain which was pretty clever. If I ever pretend that I dreamt the idea up myself, just quote this post back at me!!

Does the job indeed and very well too. In my experience the number of shoes in a household rises exponentially to the number of people and their age. You will need to build a larger one soon :)
I do not think therefore I do not am.
