I'll have to finish up with another couple of workshop updates, but for now I'll just say the workshop is up and running.
Yesterday I took the day off work to relax at home and do a little bit of woodworking. In my last Lee Valley order, I picked up a set of five coat hooks on clearance. I paid $15 for 5 hooks like these bungalow hooks, the ones I got were a satin nickel finish.
A quick google search found this example of a mission coat rack :
I spend a bit of time in Sketchup and came up with a plan for my five hooks :
Then yesterday I put it together :
From my pile of Red Oak I found a really nice Quartersawn piece for the top shelf and a nicely curved grained piece for the back that has some curl on one end.
I'll finish it up with some Minwax Provincial Stain and wipe-on poly this weekend.
