Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I make a simple coat rack which is also a shelf. I made it out of solid wood and finished it with clear water based varnish.
I begun by ripping my wood on the table saw. I then cleaned the saw marks on the thickness planer.
I then cut my wood to size on the table saw. I also created a groove by doing multiple passes on the table saw. This was to fit the shelf in place.
I used the bandsaw to round over the sides which I then cleaned on the belt sander.
Using a forstner bit I drilled the holes for the hangers. At this point I also drilled the holes from which I would hang the rack on the wall. I also counter sinked them.
I used 6mm dowels to connect all the pieces. To do that I used my dowel centre pins and a centering jig.
I then sanded everything and glued all the parts together.
It was then time to turn the hangers on the lathe.
I first created the tenons. I made a hole on a scrap piece. I then burned the tenon with friction so I would know how much material I should remove.
I turned the pins roughly to size and then I used my machinist’s lathe to make sure the maximum diameter was the same on everything.
I then trimmed them to size on the table saw and I moved back on the lathe to finish turning.
I glued the pins in place and then trimmed them flush.
I finished the piece with three coats of clear water based varnish while I lightly sanded between coats.
And my little rack was ready. I hope you’ve enjoyed this project, because that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
