HOW TO MAKE A FLOWER STAND - DIY flower shelves

So let's get to work. First, set up a workspace for yourself. Better if it is a carpentry or locksmith's workbench. It is much more convenient to work with than a system of several stools and clamps. You will be able to cut boards quickly and accurately.

Consider two options for making flower stands.

How to make a wood flower shelf

Wood is the optimal material for flower shelves and shelves. It is lightweight, relatively cheap, easy to work with, moisture resistant and, if properly finished, decorative. It is better to use softwood. It does not rot or warp from water.

You will need materials and tools:

pine, or better spruce, inch board with dimensions of 500x200x23 mm (or replace with waterproof plywood with dimensions of 500x200x10 mm);

Plywood has the same benefits as wood. Only for stands for flowers, take marine or aviation plywood, in extreme cases, the FSF brand.

two thrust corners from the same board measuring 160x160 mm;
plank for a side 700 mm long and a section of 25x10 mm.
one and a half dozen screws 20x3 mm (or nails of the same length);
two metal hinges for hanging the shelf on the wall;
two dowels for the same purpose;
carpentry square and pencil;
hacksaw for wood;
electric drill or hammer;
screwdriver or screwdriver;
vise or clamp;
pieces of large and small skin;
linseed oil or alcohol stain (impregnation), paint brush.

Step-by-step algorithm for making a shelf for flowers

Step 1... We cut out a board, persistent corners and sides with a hacksaw of the desired size.
Step 2... Using a square and a pencil, mark the joints of the board with the corners and the seats for the screws - 3 for each corner.
Step 3... We drill holes in the board for the screws in a secret.
Step 4... We drill holes for screws in the corners.
Step 5. We connect the board with the corners with screws (dip the ends of the screws in drying oil before tightening).
Step 6. In the same way, with the help of a drill, screwdriver and screws, we fasten a bar for the board in the board.
Step 7. Sand the finished product first with coarse, then fine sandpaper.
Step 8. We cover the product with linseed oil or stain (impregnation) and leave it to dry for a day out of the reach of children.
Step 9. After the shelf has dried, we screw its hinges to the rear ends of the corners with screws for hanging it on the wall.
Step 10. We mark the place for the shelf on the wall.
Step 11. We drill holes in the wall for dowels and screw them into the holes.
Step 12. We hang the shelf for flowers on the wall.

When assembling the shelf on nails, the number of steps is significantly reduced. But the screws hold better!

Step-by-step algorithm for making a bookcase for flowers

Step 1... We mark the bars for the cross-stick nests with an interval of 50 cm.
Step 2... Using an electric drill with a milling head, we drill holes in the bars for the crossbars.
Step 3. We insert the crossbars into the nests in the bars, having previously greased the nests with glue.
Step 4. We drill holes for bolts in the upper ends of the bars.
Step 5... We connect the tops of the bars with M10 bolts.
Step 6... We drill holes for the shelves in the cross members.
Step 7... We fix the shelves to the crossbars using M6 bolts.
Step 8. We cover the shelves with linseed oil, stain or impregnation with a brush.
