Previous Project - Shoe Box

I know that I have always had a pretty full house, 4 kids plus in-laws for most of the time, but I swear that there must be a couple of centipedes living here as well. The number of shoes that seem to gather around the front door at my place was ridiculous.

I also needed some where to hang a couple of coats and hats, somewhere to leave my keys and wallet so I could find them again, somewhere to sit while I put my shoes on and some way of seeing if my hair was OK before I walked out the door (not that I have that much hair to worry about).

So this was the answer.

 



The unit is 1.9m high, 1.6m wide and the box is 400mm wide and 450mm deep. It is constructed from Radiata Pine using the rail and style method. 

 

70 x 35 for the Frame, Lining boards to fill in the panels, 120 x 19 for the shelf, a few 190 x 19 for the Box lids and ply for the box base.

 

From memory I gave it 3 coats of Shellac and then a couple of coats of Polyurethane to finish it.

 

After a few years know the unit is working well although I am still trying to train certain people to put their shoes in it.
