Just a simple afternoon project using the Kreg jig, butt-jointed and screwed. Douglas Fir stiles (found at the side of the road last summer when an older couple was selling their home) and cherry rails. My wife wanted something to hold up an array of metal folder doohickies. Top rail has a keyhole routed into the back so the whole thing rides on one screw head when hung on the wall. I find that it is helpful to draw these projects up and get them signed off on, so I’m sure she and I share the same vision of the final project. Not fine woodworking but she’s happy and that was the goal.

What a waste of some great cherry.
O wait that was salvage materials.
What a great use of recycled materials. And keeping the wife happy is definitely a bonus.

The short rails are cherry salvaged from Dennis Zongker’s scrap pile. All free but the screws.

“Happy” and “free” are two wonderful concepts, especially when used on a domestic project.

Charlie, I have had a dry season on the box front, although I have made some shop fixtures for the marquetry area in the basement… all of the not fine woodworking category. I figured I’d better post something before I forgot how to.

Hey Douglas, Looking good, now I know how you stay on the wife’s good side.
If you need any more scraps just let me know, we always have plenty. Next weekend I’ll be down at work. If your not to busy maybe you could come down and we could share each others next project ideas?

Hi Douglas;
I think my wife is spoiled. She never asks for easy stuff.
Or projects that could be done in an afternoon.
Or something I could use free wood on. Kinda makes me wonder.
Nice job.
