    Default Towel Storage

    This is my first go at anything this size. We had a small alcove in the bathroom and we needed towel storage space.

    Attached is the result

    Timber is clear pine and the finish is Organ oil

    Very happy with the result

    Agree with Wongo. Projects that solve a need and do it well are IMHO some of the most satisfying. When they look good as well that is a bonus.

    Regards

    It's nice but why build it? :confused:

    I thought towels lived on the bathroom floor.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Default Moisture

    Great work. BUT!.... Fit a door with two panels for either frosted glass or perspex. Hinges ....180 degrees for hitting the tiled wall. Lower panel 1/3 up from bott then a 5o mm cross rail then the balance as the upper panel. 5omm frame all round with a pecil edge. Thin rubber seal lining the cab cavity frontage to seal and catch the door.

    Why? Towels will get damp after each shower activity.

    Yep! I reckon its a great job. I've never made something like it. Thought I should say that.
    I'm negative today only, ha he , and thats not nice....sorry.
    Cheers

    Tony...

    Beautiful looking unit. I especially like the decorative base. How did you do that?

    I made a similar set of shelves for our laundry, and would recommend putting your unit on rubber feet to prevent wicking of water into the wood in case the floor gets damp.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    The base was carved using a Carbi Tool 3D router bit and the necessary template. I have various frames and templates. Extremely easy to use

    Not familiar with that tool. Is there a web link to it?

    That's a very good article on what looks like a very nifty carving tool. Thanks for posting.
