If you are looking to practice your DIY skills, this desktop organiser is a nifty project that you can do easily and it will help keep your desktop organised.
YOU WILL NEED:
22 x 69 x 300mm PAR pine or meranti block
Drill/Driver plus assorted bits
Tape measure and pencil
120- and 180-grit sandpaper
Wood stain, tinted sealer or tinted varnish
HERE'S HOW:
1. Mark the location for drilling the holes on the top of the block. Don't forget to factor in the size of the Forstner or MAD bit.
2. Clamp the block tightly to your workbench in order to drill out the holes.
3. Sand all the rough edges with 120-grit sandpaper and then smooth the block with 180-grit sandpaper. Wipe clean.
4. Apply your choice of stain, tinted sealer or tinted varnish to protect.
Forstner Bit
You can buy a Forstner bit to fit into a router or a drill. Forstner bits have sharp cutting edges around the cutting bit and provide a clean hole. The tip on a Forstner bit is also shorter than that of a spade bit, which means it won't go right through your board or timber.
