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.
