DIY BOOK ENDS Easy project plans to make a set of book ends.

Materials Just about any kind of wood will do. The first set I made with 16mm MDF board, but it got wet and was ruined. So I made another set with 19mm pine project board from my scrap wood bin. Cutting list: 19mm thick pine wood project board 1200mm long cut to the following lengths: 2 x 220mm for the shapes 1 x 210mm backrest for the girl 225 x 225mm

backrest for the boy

2 x 155mm base for both 10 wood screws No. 6 gauge 35mm long. Wood glue. Paint of your choice I used artist acrylic colours, but not the very expensive type. This is only a wood craft project, after all. Don’t forget to apply a wood primer for painting.

Step 1 For scroll saw projects, I prefer to use paper glue to fix the pattern to the work-piece. Because this is a very basic outline, I made a template with a piece of thin cardboard. Trace the outline and cut out the pattern.

Step 2 Cut out the pattern for the back rest. Note there are two different shapes here, one for each side.

Step 3 The base is already cut to size. Mark out and drill pilot holes for the screws. Make the L – shape and check to see if the boy and the girl will fit properly.

Step 4 It is probably easier to paint the patterns before assembly, starting with the wood primer, according to the instructions.

Step 5 Once the paint is dry, you can assemble your project and proudly show if off to family and friends. Why not take a photo and send it to me – I would love to see how you made yours, and it would inspire other to make one too. Use this contact me form.
