Boat Shelf



This is a remix instructable. It is based on my instructable A boat from a single 2x4
If you saw my boat, then you know it was covered with a ugly plastic bag.
As a boat it was not really good but I like the construction therefore I decided to make a shelf for my towels.

Remove the Cover and the Seat
The cover was fixed with Duck-tape and it was not difficult to remove it. But it was a lot of work to clean all the glue rests with alcohol. I also removed the seat just with a hammer.
Adding Feet

The feet are only three wooden blocks I screwed on.
Adding Cross Bars


I placed a piece of wood above one section and made a line with a pencil. Then I cut it with a jigsaw
Correcting Mistakes

Then I realized I cut it on the wrong side of the line. Therefore I added a little piece of wood to close the gap
Adding a Middle Bar


The middle bar has a dado on one side. First I made this dado then I put the bar into the place. At this moment it was longer then necessary and it was easy to made a line on the front bar. Then I cut it, put it in place with wood glue and drilled a hole for a wooden dowel.
Adding All the Other Pieces

This was the same procedure for every other piece. Put it in place under the existing construction, make a line,
cut it and glue it in place.
The Result

I sanded it and added some layer of linseed oil.
It is not very strong but it is enough for towels.
