This easy to build wali-hung magazine and book rack is an ideal beginner project. It can be made using only the table saw, saber saw, and drill, and can be completed in one afternoon. The entire project is made from ³A in. stock. Although we used mahogany, you may use any hard or soft wood, including pine.

Start by cutting to size the back (A), sides (B), and bottom (C). Transfer the illustrated grid pattern and use a band or saber saw to cut out the curved back. Notch the sides at the top to accept the back, and cut a % in. deep by ³A in. wide rabbet in the bottom to fit the sides.

Next, cut the upper and lower rails (D and E), both of which are V* in. thick by l³A in. wide. The center, end, and side stiles (F, G, and H), which measure ³A in. thick by V* in. wide, can now be cut to the indicated lengths.

The rack is assembled with 3/16 in. diameter dowels at all joints and mating surfaces. Single blind dowels in each end hold the stiles in place, while twin blind dowels fix the upper rails to the sides. All the remaining dowels are exposed, as indicated. When drilling the blind dowel holes and cutting these dowels allow an extra Vs in. so the dowels will not bottom, which could prevent the joint from being drawn up tight. The exposed dowels may be cut long, and trimmed flush after assembly. Remember to bevel the dowel ends so glue is not forced into a pocket at the bottom of the dowel holes.

Finish sand the rack, softening all the edges, and rub in several coats of tung oil. \\wj
