free plans: how to make a Vertical Organizer |
| Basic Description |
This simple organizer neatly stores papers, files, books, magazines, catalogs etc. We have provided several customization options so that you can accommodate different size items, vary the style, and alter the dimensions. It goes together very quickly with a unique production technique. The organizer must be made with plywood because it would not be able to withstand the expansion and contraction associated with solid wood. |
| Materials | High-grade plywood, brads, finishing oil (or paint) and wood glue. A complete material list is included in the printable accompaniment to the plan and is also listed below. |
| Tools | Table saw, dado set, router. A complete tool list is included in the printable accompaniment to the plan and is also listed below. |
| Cost | The plan itself is free! Estimated cost of materials: $15 |
| Time | 4 hours |
| Prints | Although the project plan is displayed below, certain plan elements work best on paper. We have compiled a printable accompaniment to this plan which includes a complete bill of materials, tool list, plan of procedure, and drawings. |
| Difficulty | Moderate |

It is best to get everything prepared before commencing because this allows you to progress without unnecessary interruptions.

These are convenient to take with you to your local supply store to pick up everything that you need. We have also provided material and tool lists below along with some links for online purchase. |
