Introduction: Wooden Dowel Soap Dish Holder Rack
In this instructable you'll see: How I made a Soap Dish/Holder, made of pinewood and some dowels! The length of the soap dish is 43cm, the width 16cm, the height 5cm and the diameter of the dowels 6mm.
Step 1:
Firstly, cut all the pieces in the dimensions you want.
Step 2:
In this case the length of the soap dish is 43 cm, the width 16 cm and the height 5 cm.
Step 3:
Now cut the dowels, equal to the width of the structure, in this case 16 cm.
Step 4:
From each end of the wood, measure a distance equal to its width, in this case 1.5 cm, and divide the space between them in smaller spaces of 2 cm.
Step 5:
After you have marked the distances in the wood, get another one you have cut in the same dimensions and screwed them together.
Step 6:
With a try square extend the line that you have already done.
Step 7:
Now with a drill, depending on the diameter of the dowels, open the holes you have marked, In this case I use 6mm.
Step 8:
Now you have 2 pieces with the same holes at the same points.
Step 9:
With a countersink bit, smooth the holes, which will be in the inside of the structure.
Step 10:
It’s time to assemble all the pieces.
Step 11:
Now put the dowels one by one into the holes you have made.
Step 12:
For the dowels not to move from their place, put a nail in each of them, exactly in the center.
Step 13:
Cut around the construction one to two mm, so the dowels and the sides, to be like one single wood.
Step 14:
Sand the entire construction and if you want, smooth all the edges with a router for a more beautiful appearance.
Step 15:
