The making of a magazine rack~

I unsuccessfully attempted to make a magazine rack a couple of months ago, 

and decided to give it a second try today.

I made it out of 6'' and 3'' strips of mdf, a scrap piece of bead board, and a small piece of trim.

I freehanded the shape of the side and then copied it for my second side.
 I used a band saw to cut them out.

It doesn't really matter what shape  they are, as long as they are both the same.

I set them on a piece of bead board to determine how wide I wanted it, 

and then I cut the bead board down to size with a table saw.

I measured the distance between the two sides to get my bottom and front pieces.

I cut 3 of them out of the 3'' strips of mdf.

I glued and nailed it all together and put a piece of trim on the top edge to give it a more finished look.

Time to paint! I painted it the same color as the wall, so it would blend well.

I decorated the front with a hook.

And hung it on the wall. 

Happy New Year!!! Have fun tonight!!
