D.I.Y. wooden triangle shelf
Overview
You can never have enough shelf space, especially in a kid’s bedroom. This wooden triangle shelf looks fantastic and is a great way to display their favourite toys. It’s really easy to make so you can hang a few more up around the house and display some of your own favourite things.
Steps
Cut the timber for the triangle
The first thing to do is cut the timber for the three sides of the triangle. Set the mitre saw at a 30-degree angle. Put on your safety equipment and make your first 30-degree cut.
Measure the length
Then measure from the tip of the mitre and cut the length you want the side of the triangle to be. It can be any length you like, ours was 250mm. Mark this and use the square to mark the line around the timber.
Cut the first side
Flip the timber over so you can make a mirror image cut of the first cut you made at the other end. Repeat steps 1–3 to cut the other two sides of the triangle.
Assemble the triangle
Lay the three pieces of timber out on a table and put them together to make sure they fit together.
Glue the frame together
Apply a bead of PVA wood glue to the ends to join the triangle. Wipe off any excess glue.
Nail the frame together
Make sure all of the edges are flush and square. Use the nail gun to insert two nails into each corner. Then wipe off any excess glue.
Finish off the shelf
Putty up the nail holes and leave it to dry. Then lightly sand the shelf. You can paint or stain the shelf to suit your décor.
