    Coat tree

    My wife & I share a coat tree in our bedroom. Enough of her stuff taking over! Time for my own coat tree

    coat tree 3.jpg A double bead on the edges will fancy it up

    coat tree 4.jpg I will do this on all 4 edges.

    Beads look really good. Plane appears to work well. You’re off to a good start.

    Nice work Mark. Your only problem is that "SHE" will take over the finished product, have 2, and you will still be SOL.

    Well done. Useful item. Don’t see them much anymore. They could be found in the front hall of nearly every house in years past.

    Fortune is my friend on this. Candy is at least a foot shorter than me. If the hooks are high enough, she can't reach them.

    Thanks Jim. To be safe add 6 inches to the tree and you will be definitely safe

    My sister in law loved the coat tree so I made her one in white birch. I modified the base - the original plans and my first coat tree had the vertical tree supports glued and screwed to the bottom and the screws
    were visible. I decided to countersink the lower screw from the bottom and drill up into the vertical base support. For the top screw I counterbored the hole, and then made a plug and glued that in after using a screw. Maybe some Christmas presents.

    Looks great. Do you put some pads on the feet to help when on uneven floors? Or is the bottom concave? Small enough footprint, it might not matter?

    And I hope "yours" stays yours-lol!

    Good suggestion Chris. I put some pads on my first one, and I am going to put pads on this. On hardwood, without the pads, there is a little bit of rocking.
