Card holder (wish id made it large enough for the box that holds the cards)

Did up the entire thing with daito stack and miter. Type 2 titebond. No fasteners.

Pretty pleased with myself, also, is this worth anything? I have the materials to make a lot more of them if I wanted to. I might make more to practice making small boxes like this. The problem, I don't have room for all the boxes if I make a bunch.

What would even be a rough ballpart for selling these? If I made 5 more I could send them to my mother in law to sell at her farmers market would be super convenient and nice but I still have no idea what this would even go for.

Also, any advice on the design? Am using soap as lube for the sliding top

Definitely going to be more careful next time SOMEHOW I missed the heavy 1/16th gap at the bottom on one side. I thought my miter was out of square. I was, not the miter lmao.

Going to be more careful sanding it too, left a few saw marks I don't like but I need to get a new orbital, handsanding with a block is WACK for most of it

Weight capacity question

Hi! I need some help with my crude design

The top drawing shows the side view without my side rail installed. The shelves will sit at a 15~ angle with a corresponding cleat on the side and back rail (outer three boards depicted in the bottom right corner). Only the rear cleat is depicted in the side view.

Do you think I'll be able to sit on it? I'd like for 2 people to be able to um jump(?) on it. Just in case

I'm thinking that I'll need to double up the top plate. But maybe 1x12 pine in this configuration is stronger than I'd think. I don't usually make cabinets. Would really like to avoid a center support because it's extra work.

Any other concerns besides my drawing skills? Planning on using GRK cabinet screws.

Coat rack plans

My dubious quality Amazon coat hooks I installed about a year ago were literally flat and lost their shape.

Got tired of looking at them and not being able to use them so I remembered that is had an oak board at this length I pulled from the dumpster. Also remembered that I had exactly 6 of these sharp knobs from a dresser owned someone that wanted different knobs. I did have to buy proper length screws for the knobs though.

34" x 5.5" x 3/4" Oak (white?)

X2 GRK #8 3 1/4" screws into stud. Centered on the board.

X6 Knobs

X6 4mm thread screws 1 1/4"

Drill

3/16 drill bit - predrill the oak for your screws

3/8 drill bit to countersink the back of the board where the knob screws go in. This allows the heads to sit flush against the wall.

Blue tape the areas you're going to drill if you want to get fancy. Doubling up does help. Helps prevent blow out.

Mark out your holes on the oak with a ruler or measuring tape. Use a pencil with an eraser.

Drill from the front to the back. With your 3/16 drill bit.

Drill from the back to the from with your 3/8" drill bit. Only go 1/8 - 3/16" deep.

Pop/screw your knob screws in the back. I liked have it tight enough to thread so they don't jiggle during install.

Screw through your 2 holes you made for your GRK screws into your studs.

Screws your knobs on.

Profit. Wife is happy.
