June 4th 2013: Another coat rack!

I liked the last coat rack that I built so much that I built another one for the entry to our sun porch.  This one needed to be a little smaller, but that's the beautiful thing about building your own custom wood - you can build it however you'd like to whatever size you like in whatever finish that you like.  For this space, I was working between a door frame, a wall, and a thermostat so the dimensions that I needed were very specific. The hook above the thermostat is just used for keys.

I had more leftover wood and trim, so this was an easy build.

I did remember the wood conditioner this time, but I forgot to read the directions and wait 10-15 minutes to allow it permeate the wood.  Oh well, the third time I'll get it right!  The stain was the bombay that I mentioned in the previous post.

Remember if I can do this stuff, anybody can.

For hooks, I used some old hooks that I salvaged from a previous home that we owned and just cleaned them up with some steel wool.  They look great!

OK, no more coat racks - the next post will be something completely different.  I promise.

Here's a pic...
