Gouge

Forstner bit set

Bandsaw

Router

Table saw

Cordless drill

In this video I make a bicycle rack out of 15 plywood. This way I can hang my bicycle on the wall and out of the way. 


I begun by making a few cuts on the table saw. Then I glued and nailed a few pieces together, so I can work with thicker stock. 


I made the tenons on the table saw and I cleaned them up with a sharp chisel. 


To make the mortises I issued a forstner bit to remove most of the material. Then I used a gouge to remove some more material. And finally I used a chisel to easily clean things up. You could just use the chisel but the gouge makes things muck easier. 


I cut the pieces on the bandsaw and then I sanded them. I also used a round over bit on my router to ease up all the edges. 


Finally I glued and screwed the pieces together. 


I glued three plywood pieces to make a dowel on the lathe. You can just use a ready made dowel. 


I used a guide block to glue and screw the dowel in place. The dowel acts as support but you can also use it to hang your helmet or other cycling accessories. 


Finally I finished the piece with few coats of water based varnish. 


I then hang it on the wall with four wall plugs.


And it works really nicely. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
