How to Build a Magazine Holder

Today we’re going to make a magazine holder.

Materials:

One 42” by 12” sheet of 3/4” plywood

1” finishing nails

Tools:

miter saw

table saw

hammer

The outside walls will be 10 1/4” wide.

Now with the table saw cut the plywood to 10 1/4” wide. then with the miter saw cut two pieces, each 12” long.

Measure 4 3/4” from the bottom and 3” from the opposite side across the top.

Then connect the dots (drawing a diagonal line)

Cut on this line with the miter saw.

Then repeat on the other 12” by 10 1/4” piece.

Set the fence on the table saw 3/4” away from the blade, and the blade height to 3/8”. Only cut out the front, back, and bottom. clean up with a chisel.

With the remaining wood, cut three 4” wide pieces on the table saw.

Front: 5 1/4” long (I decided to give it a 45° bevel on top)

bottom: 8 5/8” long

back: 12” long

Assemble as shown in picture, then set other side on top (left side) nail or glue together. Sand any rough spots, paint or varnish if desired.

and you’re done!

Congratulations!
