How to Make a Hanging Wall Organizer

Description:

This week I’m building a wall hanging organizer that is perfect for college students trying to stay organized. For this project, I started by cutting my plywood down to size over at my table saw. With all my major cuts made, a few of my pieces called for dados to be cut in them. I loaded up my dado stack on my table saw and made the necessary cuts. Once all the work at the table saw was done, I started the assembly process. I used dowel joinery to join the main frame together and for the shelf/magazine rack portion I used brad nails and wood glue. At this point I sanded everything nice and smooth and gave it a few coats of spray teal spray paint. After letting the paint dry, I went ahead and attached the dry-erase board, cork board, coat rack hooks and a few wall hanging hooks on the backside. Now the board is ready to be hung on the wall.
