Wooden stand for unusual plates

So that you get high-quality and reliable stands for decorative plates with your own hands, then first of all, prepare the necessary materials:

• For the manufacture of side walls, planks 1.5-2 cm thick and 8.5 cm wide are suitable.

Important! Their shape may be rectangular or sinuous, but in the second case, you will need skills in working with wood and special tools.

• In addition to the sidewalls, you will also need a base, that is, a shelf that can be made of thick material, for example, a board 2 cm thick and 6 cm wide.
• Rods are useful for supporting plates, which can be made from cuttings intended for garden tools.

You will need to complete these steps in a clear sequence:

• Decide on the size of the shelves. Calculate everything so that their width allows you to mark the required number of plates.
• Saw off the shelves, make them in the middle of one recess.
• Saw the sides, also make holes in them for installing shelves and rods.
• Sand all the details so that the edges are rounded.
• Assemble the structure, not forgetting the plaque for attaching the shelf to the wall.
• Lock it at the highest crossbar, opposite it. Before doing this, make two holes in it to attach the shelves to the wall.

Important! Such walls should be made for each crossbar so that the plates do not rest against a bare wall.

• Cover the finished shelf with several layers of high-quality varnish and hang it on the wall.

Important! If you wish, you can decorate the stand with beautiful patterns or carvings.
