Directions

  • Frame

    Apply a small amount of wood glue into the pre-drilled holes for the dowel rods. Fit both dowel rods into their corresponding 1/2" holes. Join both 25 1/2" and 24" 1x6" boards using wood glue and 2 inch, 16 gauge finishing nails. This will form a 25 1/2" square.

  • Front Rails

    Attach the 25 1/2" 1x2" board(s) to the face of the unit using wood glue and 2 inch 16 gauge finishing nails.

    Secure your 1x6x24" that has been ripped down to 4 3/4" wide, using wood glue and 2" 16 gauge finish nails.

  • Dividers

    Place the (4) dividers (1x6" board ripped down to 4 3/4" wide, and then cut into 4 3/4" boards). Secure using wood glue, and 2" 16 gauge finish nails.

  • Back Support

    Attach the remaining 24" 1x2"board using wood glue and 2 inch 16 gauge finishing nails. This is an ideal place to attach the unit to the wall, or you can attach hanging hardware to the back.

  • Finish

    Fill all nail holes with wood filler. Sand smooth, then apply desire stain and/or paint.
    If desired add "label hardware" and "s" hooks to the dowel rod.

  • Drill Dowel Holes

    Before assembling frame pre-drill holes for dowel rods in the
    1"x 6"x 25 1/2" boards. Use a 1/2" bit and drill 3/8" deep. You will need to make a mirror copy on to the remaining 1"x 6"x 25 1/2" board.
