Build A Towel Closet

A custom closet will keep your towels neat and orderly.


Towel closets are very convenient, especially in houses where there are teenagers present. This is a way to keep towels organized and in one place so everybody knows exactly where they are. Building a towel closet is an excellent project for do-it-yourself homeowners. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Place the 72-inch lumber on a worktable. Measure from one end and make a mark every 18 inches.


2. Place the framing square on the marks and draw a line on each mark across the width of the lumber. Place an "X" on the same side of each of the lines.


3. Apply glue to the ends of the 24-inch pieces of lumber. Place them between the two 72-inch pieces on the lines with the "X"s and at the top and bottom and secure them with the 4d finish nails. Lay the towel closet down so the edges of the lumber are facing up.


4. Apply glue to all of the 3/4-inch edges that are exposed. Place the 25½-by-72-inch piece of plywood on the towel closet and secure it with the 2d box nails.


5. Turn the towel closet over. Install the hinges on the 25½-by-71½-inch piece of plywood according to the manufacturer's instructions. Install the door on the towel closet and set it against the wall where it goes.


6. Paint or stain the closet as desired.
