Remember when I built my 3 leg tabular array side table? That was my contribution to the One Board Challenge.

This calendar month its my plough to host the challenge! Seeing how its Jan together with nearly people are starting to larn everything sorted out afterwards the holidays, this month's subject is ORGANIZATION. I challenge I issued to my friends was this: Build roughly sort of storage solution. Part of the projection tin sack live upcycled, but at to the lowest degree i component subdivision must live built from scratch.

My boys' bath is a disaster, hence my #OrganizeBuildChallenge submission is a shelf/ towel bar hybrid, combining wood, paint, together with clear acrylic sheets. Although the persuasion of a novel material, similar acrylic, may seem intimidating but I hope you, it went together hence easily! The whole projection took me a unmarried afternoon.

Materials List:

(2) 5-1/2" x 18" x 3/8" acrylic sheet (This supplier volition cutting sheets for free)
(1) 1 x half dozen x 72" - forest board
(1) 1-3/8" x 48" - forest cupboard rod
(1) 3/8" x 12" - forest dowel
(8) *2" forest screws

Cut List:

(2) 1 x 6 @ 36"
(1) 1-3/8" cupboard rod @ 38-3/4"
(2) 3/8" forest dowel @ 2-1/8"

2. Start yesteryear drilling together with prepping your acrylic side panels. Leave the protective celluloid on the acrylic every bit long every bit y'all can. Measure 2" from the bottom edge, together with middle betwixt the sides together with brand a mark. Using a 1-3/8" forstner drill bit, brand a hole.

And here's the concluding look!

I honey that this shelving unit of measurement is pretty sizable; I tin sack hang 2-3 large towels together with lots of bath sundries, but because of the transparent sides, it doesn't lead maintain upwards every bit good much visual space.

Hopefully, the kids' bath should live a piddling to a greater extent than tidy from at nowadays on.
