Level: Beginner
Learn how to use a variety of tools as you transform reclaimed wood into a custom, wooden hanging rack to add more functionality to any space. This hanging rack can be used for towels, tools, keys, or anything you want to hang from the pegs. Think about what space of yours could use more functionality and bring measurements to class. You'll be able to customize your masterpiece to be as short or long as you'd like (up to the maximum length of the available lumber)!
What You’ll Experience:
You’ll start by learning about reclaimed wood and how to safely pick materials. Next you’ll learn how to cut your wood using a miter saw. This will be followed by a lesson in perfecting your pegs using a belt sander or an orbital sander. Finally, you'll use wood glue to finish your hanging rack and learn about the importance of protecting wood for long term use with the help of some wood conditioner. The class will wrap up with a discussion about the installation of the hanging rack in your home using a stud finder and power drill.
