I made a template with my Silhouette® Cameo! I drew a rectangle in Silhouette Studio® that was the same width of wood: 5-1/2″ and filled it with 1-1/2″ circles. But I needed a pattern or template for the placement of those holes. I knew I would use my drill/driver with a hole saw bit to make the holes. While the 1/2″ x 4″ pieces were clamped together with the ends together on one end, I cut a small piece (about an inch) off of the other end with my miter saw. First so I could cut them to the same exact length and second so that the holes that I drilled into them would be in the same location on each board. In order to do this, I clamped them together. But I needed to get them to be as identical as possible. Since wood is a natural material it is not perfect, meaning that the two boards that I bought were not exactly the same. Now for the sides of the vinyl storage tower. There is a definite learning curve to using a router but I found several helpful videos on YouTube and I can’t wait to try out the different bits and jigs! This was my first time using this router and router table. I raised the router just a bit to get a deeper channel on the second pass.Ī quick once-over with a sanding sponge got rid of the wood fibers.
The image above shows the channels after one quick pass on the router table.Īnd here’s how the pieces look after the second pass. I set the fence back 1/2″ from the 1/4″ straight bit. Thanks to the folks at Rockler, I got to use my brand new router and router table to make the channels. Since these hobby boards are 1/4″ thick, I needed to make some 1/4″ channels on those 3″ wide pieces. These are the top and bottom pieces that will hold the two tall side pieces (the 1/4″ x 4″ x 4′ hobby boards). The first thing I did was cut two 3″ pieces from the 1″ x 6″ x 6′ board. Drill/driver with a 1-1/2″ hole saw bit.Maybe you have some scrap wood at home? If not, get a 1″ x 6″ x 6′ common board.
You’re also going to need 6″ of a 1″ x 6″ pine board. In my Home Depot they are located right next to the stair parts, across from the pine boards. Visit your local Home Depot and head down the wood aisle and look for the hobby boards. This DIY wooden vinyl storage rack is really easy to make.
Maybe every three years or so. I come up with what I think is a brilliant storage solution ( like this one). Silhouette® owners, get your vinyl rolls ready for a DIY Vinyl Storage Solution!
