Hi there. This is my second instructable and I hope you enjoy it. These boat shelves add a nice rustic touch to any room. A very nice place to showcase your pictures or collectibles. I hope you enjoy this project.
You will need:. First you must cut 2 1 foot pieces off of 3 of the 6 foot 1x6s for the shelves. Save what is left as you can use the rest for another project. Using bar clamps, glue 4 1x6x4 foot pieces together with the 2 inch strip in the centre to get the back of the shelf. This will give you exactly 2 feet across. Also, glue 2 1 foot sections together x3 to give you 3 shelves. Once the glue dries, cut the shelves down so that their width is 10 inches deep.
This will allow for our side rails to fit in nicely later on. I left the base full width for a bit of stability but that is up to you. On the top of your now 2 foot by 4 foot glue up, mark centre and put a finishing nail into it.
Now, measure 2 feet down the sides and put a finishing nail as close to the outer edge as possible. By using a piece of thin wood, yard stick etc. This will give you the exact curve on both sides. Using a jig saw, cut the curves. After they are cut sand the back of your shelf until smooth. You can also just leave it to give it a rustic look if you choose but I like it sanded.
Once cut, sand your shelves. One of your shelves will need to have its sides cut on an angle as it will be near the top and into the curve of the boat. To get this angle, roughly place it in it's location and mark it with a pencil. Secure your shelves in place by using wood glue and screws through the back. Once the shelves are in place, run the strips of plywood up the sides and measure exactly the length. Depending on your curve, your plywood has to be cut accordingly.
Once cut to proper size, glue and nail your plywood sides on. I used an air nailer but it is not necessary. Clamp the top where the sheets meet.
Using clamps, first glue the inside rails on. You have to measure the length first and cut them accordingly. Once dry, measure and cut the outers. Using your clamps again, glue and clamp the outer rails on. If you look closely at the picture, you can see I added a piece at the nose and 2 gussets at the base.
This is purely for looks and is optional. I painted mine blue but you can choose whatever color you like. Forest green looks very nice. I put 2 coats of clear varathane on the inside. This shelf is 4 feet high. You can use this instructable as a guide and make a Wooden Motor Boat Plans Github 7 footer if you choose. I hope you enjoyed my instructable. Thanks for looking. Question 1 year ago. Question 1 year ago on Introduction. Answer 1 year ago. Reply 1 year ago. Question 2 years ago. The curve is found by putting a finishing nail in the centre of the top.
Then measure down from the top edge of one side 2 feet anf put a finishing nail as close to the edge as possible. I made this, except i had to change a couple things due to the curve of the shape. I made mine a bit smaller and curvier, and when I tried to put the siding on, it snapped. I ended up siding it with wood pieces 3in in width, and stacked them along the side. Question 2 years ago on Introduction. I have always loved this shelf. Thank you for sharing. So I'm a little confused now on the materials.
Can you list the materials needed again, please? Or are the ones listed correct? Thank you! Sorry about the directions. I'll revisit the project and make corrections. The "floor" back are 1x4s and you are correct, I used 1x6s for the shelves. Yours looks Great! Good job. And your shelves are supposed to be 2 foot strips glued together not 1 foot strips. And to do that you need 6 boards not 5. Reply 5 years ago. When I saw this I thought of the piles of wood flooring planks Classic Wooden Boat Plans Review 30 at the Re-Store, there is never enough to do a room but plenty for a cool project like this.
Awesome Job! I had cut all the pieces a few years ago and never got around to putting it together. Did you use finishing nails for the trim? Reply 6 years ago on Step 9. Actually I just used good wood glue and clamps. I didn't believe that finishing nails were needed.
