Step 1Equipment:


One piece of MDF 16″ by 12″ ( this was the size the piece already was when we found it in the bin store. Any size could be used)

One electric drill with a wooden drill bit

18 small wooden dowels (£2.99 from Homebase for a pack of 50)

1 metre of wooden doweling (from our supply of wood that we scavenge)
 

1 junior hacksaw

Ruler

Pencil

Emulsion paint (I used leftover paint from painting the walls)
 

Wood glue (£1.99 from Homebase)

(total cost: less than £2 for materials used. I like cheap projects)
