January 24, 201610 yr Soo, Bought a 1x6x48" plank of pine. Lowes finest.. Handsaw to cut to the length needed. Coping saw to cut the supports out of the waste. #78 plane to cut a rebate on each end, to house the supports. Drill a few holes, two were for a dowel rod. Added a metal bracket in the middle, to help hold the shelf while I installed it.. Picture was a puzzle we put together, then glued up. Might get a frame...someday.. Some of the screw holes needed a pilot hole, like on the corners. Glued and screwed, a push drill to make the pilot holes, first. A spade bit to make the deeper ones in the supports. A 3" long screw was then driven into the King studs on each side. just a pine project...
January 24, 201610 yr Nice, I need to make something similar to hold paper towels and sandpaper(cloth) rolls
January 27, 201610 yr Charles, Here is a plan for a paper towel holder that I've made. It'll hold the large rools with room to spare. Since you "turn", the rod to hold the towels won't be a problem.
January 27, 201610 yr Thanks much Harry, Any idea how big those 2 end pieces are supposed to be? It doesn't seem to say.
January 27, 201610 yr The towel holder was made from 1" x 6" pine. backer board is 5" x 12" with the side pieces screwed to the ends of it. The end pieces are 5" by 6" layed out and cut from the pattern. The rod is 15 1/2" total length with another piece of dowel that had been bored out to fit the dowel. I hope this is enough info for you.

January 29, 201610 yr Author Ok, NOW the Boss wants a light over the sink AND stove. Shelves to be included, of course. maybe a 1x6 "valance for the one over the sink. She also has a plant hanging there, to fit around, of course. So... next time I'm in Menards, I'll go the to Value Wood bin, and pick a few more slabs. And, maybe two lights. You think a pair of Shop Lights would be "too much"??? Honey-do list just keeps growing...
