Tools and materials:
Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit
In this video I make a bicycle rack out of 15 plywood. This way I can hang my bicycle on the wall and out of the way.
I begun by making a few cuts on the table saw. Then I glued and nailed a few pieces together, so I can work with thicker stock.
I made the tenons on the table saw and I cleaned them up with a sharp chisel.
To make the mortises I issued a forstner bit to remove most of the material. Then I used a gouge to remove some more material. And finally I used a chisel to easily clean things up. You could just use the chisel but the gouge makes things muck easier.
I cut the pieces on the bandsaw and then I sanded them. I also used a round over bit on my router to ease up all the edges.
Finally I glued and screwed the pieces together.
I glued three plywood pieces to make a dowel on the lathe. You can just use a ready made dowel.
I used a guide block to glue and screw the dowel in place. The dowel acts as support but you can also use it to hang your helmet or other cycling accessories.
Finally I finished the piece with few coats of water based varnish.
I then hang it on the wall with four wall plugs.
And it works really nicely. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
