pine panel•
1 Mark a 1800mm x 450mm
timber panel in half and half
again to cut four equal square
pieces using a circular saw with
a straightedge. Sand the cuts
with 180-grit abrasive paper,
rounding them over to match
the factory edges.
2 With the factory edge as the
top, make two cushion-tie
holes on the fronts, marking
20mm in from the base corners
to drill with an 8mm bit. Sand
and wipe away dust. Apply two
coats of oil with a clean cloth,
leaving to dry after each.
3 Place the tops together, best
sides down, to secure 50mm
hinges 40mm in from the sides
with 16mm screws. Secure carry
handles at the centre of the top
edge of the fronts. Tip: Use a
2mm bit to pre-drill all hardware,
tightening the supplied screws
by hand with a screwdriver.
4 With the assembly sideways,
mark the edge of the front,
100mm down from the top, to
secure a cabin hook. Mark the
edge of the back, 100mm down
from the top, to position the
plate, checking the hook fits
smoothly before securing. Add
the cushions (see top left).

HANGING SHELF
Create a moveable display
that sports boho tassels
Cut an offcut of 18mm
hevea finger-jointed panel
to 450mm x 300mm. Use
a 10mm bit to drill holes
30mm in from the corners,
sand and wipe away dust.
Apply two coats of oil,
leaving to dry after each.
Cut 8mm cotton sash
cord into two 3m lengths,
wrapping tape around the
ends to prevent fraying.
Tie loop knots halfway
along, then thread the
ends through the front
holes, knotting to leave
200mm excess.
Thread 100mm x 30mm
x 5mm S-hooks through
the loop knots and enlist
an extra pair of hands to
hang the shelf. Thread the
ends through the back
holes, position the shelf
straight using a small level,
and mark the back ropes
underneath with a pen.
Take the shelf down to
tie knots at the marks. Trim
all the ends to the same
length and fray to create
tassels. Re-hang the shelf
and use it to show off
your favourite things!
Use strong
rope such as
