How to do it yourself Bedroom Closet Metal Shelving

For many people, whether single individuals or married couples, there are more clothes and personal belongings than can be accommodated in the built-in closets at home. The lack of storage space becomes even more acute when there are children in the home. For this reason, a closet organization system such as closet shelving is a must have for just about any home.

Having closet shelving at home is the ultimate answer to the need for more space and better organization of one’s belongings. Closet shelving not only helps you keep track of your stuff and helps avoid misplacing things where you cant find them, it ensures your closets will be tidy and organized. This is especially true during times when you need them the most.

Closet shelving can be made of many types of materials and come in a lot of different application configurations. They can be produced out of several different materials or just one, and the most used materials are cloth, plastic, wood or a combination. Consider your storage needs carefully before settling on which kind you want because each kind of closet shelving has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Although wood is a highly sought material because of its strength and beauty, it is usually more expensive than other materials, and thus not the best option for those on a budget. Fortunately, closet shelving is made in several types of material.

When compared to wood, both wire and plastic closet shelving are lightweight and portable. This is why many urban dwellers prefer closet shelving made of wire, since you can install it in limited spaces. And if carpentry isn’t your forte then installing pre made wire or plastic closet shelving is ideal.

Using pre made closet shelving kits is the best choice to enhance your closet organization if simplicity is important to you. You can easily assemble and install the kits with a minimum of tools, usually a screwdriver and a hammer. The ease of installation lessens the effort and time you will have to spend on the whole process.

Is It English Is It French Does It Matter

Im continuing on writing about building some wooden layout squares for the shop. If you havent been following up to this point you can catch up on the previous posts HERE.

I kind of like Twitter, aside from the stupid name, the group of woodworkers out there are a great bunch of guys. Awhile back when I was beginning work on these squares I spent a day in the shop "Tweeting" through my progress. I would take a picture with my phone and upload it with a "Tweet" I kept calling it an English Layout Square after the title Chris Schwarz and Patrick Leach had bestowed upon it. One of my followers "Tweeted" up, (you see what I mean about the name, I feel like Im writing about Dr. Seuss) anyway, he said
"I still reckon these are French squares - they are hanging on the wall in Roubo plate 11. Whatever, I love yours, Derek :)",

I answered that I was going with what The Schwarz was calling it but I knew the "Roubo" square was more akin to a try square in design. then Jeremy sent me a link to this picture, posted for download on Popular Woodworkings website.

Can you see it. Its a little like a Wheres Waldo puzzle. Id studied this picture a lot, but I had never caught the square / level hanging on the wall on the right side of the picture before. Jeremy had gotten me, and Im rather glad he did.

So what is one to do when presented with that kind of information? You say "awesome idea" and you go with it. Thank you again Jeremy.

But before I could get that far I had a few things to finish up. I wanted to peg the half lap joints for some added stability and because I really though it would look great especially if I used some contrasting wood and I had just the stuff. A while back I picked up a bag of random exotic turning blanks from Woodcraft. I never use exotics at all, but they seemed perfect to turn into some tool handles. So the admission here is that I have no idea what wood this is. If you can figure it out from the pictures youre a better person than I, drop me a comment and let me know what you think it is.

It planed beautifully and was kind of oily once you got deeper than the outer dried layer. After I got it squared up I ran it through the bandsaw to resaw it down to a pile of square dowels a little bigger than 1/4"X1/4" I cut several lengths at around 3/4", tapered them and pounded them through my doweling plate to make 1/4" round dowel.

I laid out and drilled the holes, then placed the dowels with some hide glue.

A little flush cut, a little sanding and I had that wow factor I was looking for.

I squared it up at this point, but Im not going to show that part because I think Chris Schwarz shows it best via a short video on his blog. HERE"S A LINK to that post and video.

Now I was ready to make the layout square more versatile by giving it the chance to act as a level as well. The first thing I had to do was go out and find a smallish plumb bob. A little time on eBay and I had what I was looking for.

I drilled a 3/8" hole, in hindsight a little larger than I really wanted to, but its OK. I hit the hole with a little light touch of a countersink to ease the edges. I then took a coping saw blade without the coping saw, and used it to teardrop the hole a little.

I left the teardrop very tight so that a know in the string would catch in the notch. This way I didnt have to worry too much about leaving the bob tied to the layout square when I just wanted to use it for layouts.

Lately I have been having an excellent time reading Kari Hultmans blog, The Village Carpenter, as shes crafting a level. (If you havent seen it you should because its amazing work) Earlier this afternoon I had to smile as I thought of her work because now I had a new level too, albeit a different and cruder version. But in her post introducing the project I think we may have an answer to the question I pose in the title of this article. Is it English? Is it French? Nope, its Egyptian. Read it HERE.

I laid my four foot construction level on the workbench and shimmed it until the bubble was plumb I then rested the arms of the square on the level, with the plumb bob attached. I waited a few seconds for the bob to stop moving and then held the string tight. I used a pencil to mark on the cross piece on either side of the string. Then I used a sharp chisel to cut a "V" marking plumb, then I also excavated a very shallow indent.

I realize this small indent could give a narrowly false positive when marking level, but seriously the plumb bob is mostly a fun contrivance. Im not giong to trade in any of my bubble levels for this any time soon, but if Im in a pinch, I may find myself leveling out with this baby.

A coat of danish oil and she was looking beautiful, and you may think that was enough for me and sqaures, but youd be mistaken. I had a couple more things I wanted to try.

Cheers.

Project Updates Knock It Off Premiere

Hi! I hope that you had a great 4th of July! We relaxed, worked on projects, went to the farmers market and dinner with friends, and watched fireworks (of course :)

I havent given you a project update in a while, so today I thought I would share what were up to ...

The other week I shared these rattan chairs and table on Instagram. While at Goodwill, I didnt realize how disgusting they really were ... I tore off the nasty foam and fabric, wiped down the dirt covered rattan (took a shower) and then cut off the xs in the front with the jigsaw. We decided with the shape of the chair (mainly the lack of arms to break up the space) it looked a little bottom heavy. I filled in all of the holes with wood filler, sanded and primed with Zinsser Cover Stain (aka my new favorite primer, it sticks well, covers evenly, and wont easily flake off)

Just about ready for paint!

I also recently picked up these mid-century modern chairs for $20 each. The wood was in good shape, so I decided to stain rather than paint. The stain must be partially opaque because some of the wood grain came through and some was hidden (see photo below).

Love the contrast in the wood! So glad that I decided to stain it. Im thinking a light, slightly gray stain (let me know if you have a recommendation!)

Finally today we are working on a project with this bamboo ... these were on clearance (and for good reason ...) for $3.00 (smaller .50). Hopefully Ill have finished pics this Monday! Dont worry ... paint is definitely involved!

PS- If youre around this weekend, youve gotta check out Knock It Off! Monica and Jess from East Coast Creative Blog are the designers and hosts of this new DIY/Home Design show and it premieres this Sunday at 7pm! Check out all the details here!
