nothing pretty, but WIPS

dead simple but what wifey needed

Wifey Sells Pet products - Toys Chews Harnesses/Leads etc etc, and has up to now been struggling with stacked boxes. Trouble is when she needed something out of the bottom box .......

So I said I would make some pigeon holes for her.

I bought some 1/2" MDF and was going to make them out of this. Thinking more on it they would be extreemely heavy and I had loads of bits of 6mm ply cluttering up the place !

So I cleared some space on my work bench

Ripped the MDF into 2x4' peices. ripped some more scarps into battons and glued and screwed them as shelf supports

Start the clock ! from now on its 6mm ply 12mm staples and PVA glue

getting high now

clamps and straight edge to cut the back

some strips ripped on the TS for the front

some more off cuts to support the bottom and let it slide about

and finaly the top (yes , its on its side ! )

there you have it - done in an hour and a half.

That is the third of three. When the glue has dried over night we'll put them in her shed and take a couple more pics

Very effective and good going for an hour and a half.

fast work! I get paid to do woodwork, and i'd of probably taken longer saying that though, everyone needs a break in between :lol:

just to be clear - I had done the batons already when I made the other one - so that isn't included n the hour n arf just from when I quoted 'start the clocks'

I know its just a functional shelf unit - I just posted for those that might not realise how quick and easy these could be.

I thought about dado'ing for the shelves, but my 1/4 router bit was too wide for the 6mm ply. If I had time to let the batons glue up over night I would have used brads instead of screws. The screws were just so I could press on.

but the best thing is, I used up loads of my ply off cuts
