Wood Working Plan for a Shoe Rack

If you have a closet full of shoes and would like to eliminate the clutter you should think about building a nice wooden shoe rack. They are easy to build, you don’t have to be an expert craftsman and they are very economical to boot. Plans for them are easy to find and you can do one in less than a day.

• One of your first efforts should be to take accurate measurements of the space you will be placing the shoe rack in. If you aren’t quite sure what the design of your shoe rack is yet go online and look at the many free plans you can find there. If you are a good do-it-yourself person there are many to choose from. A good place to start would be http://www.woodworkersworkshop.com/resources/index.php?search=FREE%20SHOE%20RACK%20PLANS and there are many others. At many of these sites you can get actual plans and on others you can at least see different styles that you can make on your own.


• After you have your measurements you will need to purchase the supplies that you will need. You can use hardwoods, softwoods, firs, redwoods and cedar. Many of these woods are used in furniture.


• When you assemble your shoe rack you can either use assembly methods that hide the way it is put together or not. This would be such as using dowel rods and glue or brackets and nails or screws. That would be up to what you want to accomplish and how nice you want it to look in the end.


• Keep in mind that this can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. It can literally be done for less than $20 or become a pricey project if you have lots of shoes to store!
