Spontaneous
piles seem to form around my house. Mail is probably the most often piled
culprit. Why worry about opening mail and filing it when you can stack it up
for a week? If you feel the same but are looking for a way to appease the neat
freaks in your life, why not make a cool-looking basket for it? — Matt
Materials
5/8″ wide hardwood dowel, 1 x 2 hardwood
board, leather straps, heavy waxed
thread, tacks
Tools
saw, drill press, pocket screw
jig, drill, tack hammer, leather hole
punch or awl, heavy waxed
thread, leather needle
Instructions
1. Cut your wood pieces first. Grab the 1
x 2 and cut a 12″ piece and
two 6″ pieces. Cut a dowel piece to 12
1/2″.
2. Time to drill holes: Measure the
centers and 3/4″ from the front end of the 6″ pieces, and drill a 5/8″ wide hole that’s 1/2″ deep to accept the dowel. Drill
your pocket holes on the ends of the 12″ back piece.
3. Cut your leather strap piece to
11″ lengths. I used six
pieces. On one end, punch four holes — two close to the end, and two about 2″ in. You can wrap a piece around
your dowel and judge how close you want to punch your holes. After punching
holes, I ran some waxed thread though three or four times, tied it toward the
back with a square knot and cut the ends.
4. After sewing up all your straps,
assemble them to the dowel piece, spacing them evenly, and then you can tack
them to the back board. Lay them nice-side down and nail some tacks to the top
edge. Make sure to nail them near the top so you can lift them up to screw the
frame to the wall and so your screws will be hidden underneath.
5. Lastly, we’re ready to assemble
the frame. Attach one side piece using pocket screws in the pocket holes you
drilled earlier. Insert the dowel to the attached side, then screw together the
other side piece. You might need to tap the dowel with a mallet and ensure that
it’s squared with the back piece. After assembly, you can attach it to the wall
simply by drilling through the back — the screws will be hidden if you center
them under a couple straps.
MOI, MOI!
