Just a Thought: Bottom Protection

This step is totally preferential but should be given consideration before proceeding:

How would you like to protect the part of the board where the board or board bag will be standing/leaning on.

This could make cutting easier later on or save cut outs completely.

Options are:

  1. Paint with Polyurethane coat
  2. Paint with vinyl over it
  3. Only vinyl
  4. Carpet
  5. self-adhesive vinyl tiles

Lining Up the Lumber

  1. making sure it all lines up correctly (the 4x4 side bar should leave 3.5" from the top)
  2. nailing/screwing the top 4x4 to the bottomboard from the bottom, lining up with edge and corners (no picture)
  3. lining up the outside 4x4s with the outside edge T-boning the top 4x4 and nailing/screwing them to the bottomboard board upside down
  4. place and screw corner braces in place

Measuring Placement for the Middle Bar / Divider

13428568_974525646001588_8236341003292038984_n.jpg
  • place by eye or measure correctly depending on the widths of your boards (preferential)
  • perfect middle on the 24" wide stand should be 6.75" from the already placed 4x4

3.5 - 6.75 - 3.5 - 6.75 - 3.5 = 24"
Bar - Space - Bar - Space - Bar = Total

Placing the Head Board & the 2nd Level Top Board

Which one gets mounted on first doesn't matter. I don't have individual pictures. So, as to not confuse anybody, I'm combining this step.

  • mount the 2nd level 4x4 to the bottom with the 3" flat brackets (braces) in the middle or each slot
  • as well as on the side portions of the 4x4s connecting upper and lower (no picture of mount, see sketch)

Securing the 2nd Level Top Board to the Head Board From the Inside

screw braces on connecting both top 4x4s

Paint If Preferred

13343134_974362046017948_1637883462332121685_n.jpg

Painted & coated with Polyurethane

Anti-skid Patches

13419218_974361932684626_981541954718714936_n.jpg

Invest into self-adhesive anti-skid patches and attach them to the bottom of your stand

Slot Lining

This is a preferential step and in my case I guess I could've left the slots unpainted. This idea however came after I had painted it.

You can use carpet or like I did, 12x12" self-adhesive vinyl tiles. Just cut them in place.

You're Finished! :)
