WOODWORKS: BEGINNER PROJECT 2000-2001 SHAKER-INSPIRED MAGAZINE RACKThe magazine rack is a wonderful project for beginning woodworkers. • The basic construction techniques allow you to create a finished piece that is both functional and decorative . By carefully reading and following these plans and directions, and discussing anything that you may not understand with your instructor, you will be able to successfully complete this project. • Any home can use a magazine rack and the Shaker-inspired simplicity of this design will comfortably fit into any home décor. • Because the surfaces of the rack are flat and unadorned with trims and moldings, you will easily learn to apply and master the basic steps for achieving a high-quality finish. This magazine rack presents beginning woodworking students with the opportunity to learn a number of important, basic woodworking skills. These include measuring, marking, clamping, cutting, joinery and ploughing dadoes and edge rabbets. Finally, after constructing this rack, you will learn how to effectively apply and use finishes to help protect and keep the wood looking beautiful. –1– PROJECT1 TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED Hand Tools Power Tools Miscellaneous – Square, T ry or combination – Scroll or saber saw – Pencil – Bar clamps – Saw (Hand or power) – Safety glasses – Ruler (zigzag or tape measure) – Biscuit joiner – Respirator – Sharp utility or razor knife – Electric drill – Router, with straight (dado) and rabbet cutters Buying and Cutting List(Bring this materials list to the lumberyard when you go to buy the materials.)
