Woodworking Diy - How to Cut Molding - Make Closet Organizer

With basic woodworking skills and a few tools, you can make a closet organizer. Would you believe with a single sheet of plywood, a clothes pole and a few feet of 1x3 lumber you can duplicate your 5-foot closet storage space. To buy a custom-made closet organizer can cost hundreds of dollars. However, with these materials you can make you own and save over 70% of the cost.

Listed below is all you need for your closet organizer

Carpentry Framing

Hammer
Finish nails (6d and 8d)
1x3 lumber
One 4x8 foot sheet of ¾-inch thick plywood
Tape measure
Framing square
Circular saw
Clothes pole
Six clothes pole brackets
screwdriver
Paint or wood stain

One single sheet of plywood yields two 11 7/8 inch-wide sides (A), two long 11 7/8 inch wide shelves (B), and six 11 7/8 inch square shelves.

You can see what just a few tools and very little material you are able to make an organizer for a closet that will give you 2 long shelves over the top of the closet and 6 small shelves down the middle with room for hanging clothes on both sides. You can use one closet pool for long clothes and 2 on the other side for shorter clothes.

This is a great woodworking Diy weekend project.

If you ever wanted to dress up a room in your house for a small venture and a huge wow factor is to add molding. You can add crown molding to your ceiling, which makes any room look like a million dollars. an additional one nice touch is to advance you baseboard molding. Many citizen have hardwood floors or tile floors and a larger baseboard gives your room an elegant look.

I think that is why so many of us a drawn to older homes. They always have beautiful moldings nearby windows and doorways, even archways. At first, it can sound daunting to even try to do a molding project. However, with the right tools and a little convention you will be able to put molding up in your home.

Listed below are the tools you need:

sharp pencil
measuring tape
router with edging bits
miter box
coping saw
wood molding
finish nails
nail set

If you have a sharp pencil and sharp saw in a quality miter box, you are ahead of the game. Those are the most prominent tools because molding is all about tight fitting joints. If at this time, you cannot buy a quality miter box or power miter saw, try renting first.

Here are some basic instructions for installing trim and moldings. With a little practice, you can start and combine distinct molding to your taste. Miter Box and backsaw is used to cut spoton angles on quit lumber, like mitered moldings for window and door casings. Cut casings at 45-degree angle with the flat edge tight against the horizontal bottom base of the miter box. Baseboard miters are cut with the molding tight against the vertical rear base of the miter box.

Cut cove molding by positioning ceiling side of the molding tight against the horizontal bottom base of the miter box. Wall side of molding should be tight against vertical rear base of your miter box. I know that all may sound so complicated, but believe me it legitimately is not. Just rent what you may need and try it. You will be amazed how after a few tries you get the hang of it.

These are just two examples of what you can achieve with woodworking Diy. You can build a basic closet organizer or beautiful finishing carpentry. Your options are endless.

There is always an additional one woodworking task nearby the corner that will interest you. Everyone one is distinct so you will never be bored.
