Finishing the plywood theme for myself, I decided to make a stand for shoes. Through pinterest, I went to one interesting store, in which I peeped the idea.
At the time of writing (October 2016), 720 New Zealand dollars is 32,088 Russian rubles.
True, the design had to be slightly adapted to the realities of a family of four, three of whom are girls.
First, I sawed blanks from waterproof birch 18 mm plywood
Stand parts are attached to dovetail. To do this, I made grooves in the appropriate places with a 15.9 mm cutter.
And with the help of a special device (which you can read about here:) I made the corresponding spikes at the ends of the blanks.
The dovetail connection is one of the strongest and is not prone to loosening.
With a straight cutter 19 mm, I made grooves for connecting parts into half a tree.
The sawing-milling stage turned out to be rather short. The cabinet parts are almost ready for assembly.
An important step is grinding. Sanded with 180 and 240 sandpapers.
The outer walls of the stand were assembled on 10 mm beech dowels. To fine-tune the places for drilling, I used small studs, sharpened on both sides.
We hammer nails into one part, position the second one on top and hit it with a mallet. The photo clearly shows the marked places for drilling.
The fit is fairly accurate, although not perfect.
Thus we get the outer box of the stand,
into which we insert internal partitions. This time, due to the simplicity of the design, I decided to do without dry assembly. It turned out to be wrong. While the dovetail joints on the test bars fit perfectly, they were too tight on the cabinet pieces. Therefore, the part with the adhesive already applied had to be assembled using pipe clamps and after that, once again, go through the fixture along the edges of the remaining parts.
After the glue has dried, the final grinding of the edges. After all, it is in them that the whole highlight of plywood furniture.
Coating as always in four layers of varnish residues from the previous project. You can read about the equipment used and the procedure for preparing materials in earlier articles on my blog.
Sanding between coats was done with a 180 grit abrasive pad.
Putting furniture on wheels instead of legs is not just a feature of this project. According to the same Pinterest, this is a trend that many furniture designers follow. In general, this great idea- it will be much easier to collect dust in the hallway.
The finished product has a length of 1.6 m and a height of about 0.5 m. The internal useful volume of the cells is 18 cm high, 25 cm wide, 35 cm deep. Men's winter low shoes size 45 fit perfectly.
I chose the sizes in accordance with my needs and the possibilities of the hallway. Therefore, despite the seemingly monstrous size at first glance, it fits perfectly into the space intended for it.
I must say that we were not able to arrange our shoes into separate cells even in such a large stand. And this despite the fact that all the summer shoes have already been put away in the pantry. I had to put several pairs in some cells. It is difficult to say for whom only six cells in the prototype were designed.
In any case, there is much more order in our hallway.
