    PLANT DISPLAY

    Here's the perfect alternative to


    crowding potted plants in your
    window sills: the plant display.
    This project has three shelves that
    are slatted to allow more sunlight
    to reach the plants on the lower
    shelves.
    1. Begin with ten feet of 1 x 12
    lumber. Use redwood, cedar, or
    pressure-treated lumber if the dis
    play is intended for outdoor use.
    2. Cut all pieces to size on a table
    saw.
    3. Lay out and mark the various
    angles on the ends of the top shelf
    sides (A), middle shelf sides (B),
    and the base pieces (C). Cut these
    angles using a bandsaw and 1/4"
    blade.
    4. Using a router or a saw fitted
    with dado blades, cut 1/8"-deep
    dadoes and rabbets in the posts (D)
    for the shelf sides and base pieces.
    5.Dill screw holes in the shelf
    sides and the base pieces, and cor
    responding pilot holes in the posts
    Drill pilot holes in the shelf slats (E)
    and center pieces (F) to accommodate
    6d finishing nails. (Use one of the nails
    as a drill bit to assure that the
    diameter of the pilot holes is drilled
    accurately.) 6. Sand all of the pieces
    smooth. The sawed edges should be
    given an extra sanding, or be touched
    up
    with a hand plane, to make sure
    they are sufficiently smooth. 7.
    Attach the slats and shelf center
    pieces to the sides with 6d finishing
    nails. Attach the centers first, and
    then install the slats at 1" intervals.
    Set all nails below the surface and
    fill the holes with wood putty that
    matches the finish you plan to use.
    8. Attach the shelves to the posts
    using #8 x 1-1/4" flathead wood
    screws.
    9. Finish the plant display with polyurethane or some other waterresistant finish if it is not made
    of redwood, cedar, or pressuretreated lumber.
