Materials
- wood glue
- 1” finishing nails
- One 1”x6” wood board (I used rough cut lumber of which has actual dimensions)
Size & Thickness
most printer paper measures 11’’ by 8 1/2’’ I decided to make the inside of the holder 1/2 an inch longer and 1/8 inch wider than the paper to make it easier to get the recipes out.
Cut or plane your board 1/4 of an inch thick (0.635 cm)
Make the Back
with your miter saw cut the board 11 1/2 inches long, do this twice. With your table saw rip the second one down to 2 5/8 inches wide, glue and clamp.
it should be 8 5/8” wide
Front
Make a strip of wood about 3/4” wide by 1/2” deep by 9 1/4” long
make another one 9 1/4” long by 2 3/8” wide and 1/4” thick.
Sides
Make the sides 11 1/2 inches long by 2 3/8 inches wide. Use your jigsaw to cut a notch the same size as the first piece in step three, 3 inches from the top.
top, and bottom,9 1/4” long by 2 3/8” wide each.
