Round Wooden Lid for Hampers & Baskets

In this instructable you'll see: How I made a Laundry Basket Top, made of plywood. The circular wood is 12mm thick and the radius of the circle is 20cm, [π=3,1415926], [C=2πr], so C=2*3,14*0,2=125,6mm. The side of the basket is 4mm thick and 125,6mm long.

Firstly mark the center of the wood, in this case it’s a piece of plywood forty by forty centimeters and twelve millimeters thick.

Now, with the router’s component, for circular cutting, take a little hammer and open a small hole in the center that you have already marked.

Place the router in the hole that you have already made, keep it stable and have someone else turning the piece of wood slowly.

After you have measured the perimeter of the wood that has been cut with the router, take a piece of plywood four millimeters thick to make the side of the basket.

Soak in warm water the piece of wood that you have already cut.

Now, it’s much easier to bend it, and give it the circular form you want.

Sand all surfaces, so it fits snugly against the wood you have already bent on top of the circular wood.

Place a screw, not to miss the alignment of the wood.

Then, put a nail every seven centimeters and a screw every twenty five centimeters.

Putty all nail holes and sand again.

Paint the first coat and let it dry well.

Then proceed to the second one.
