All furniture can have a DIY equivalence and some are more interesting than others, especially for the quality / price ratio. For this DIY, we present to you a bowl holder for your dear pets inspired by the creation of @clemaroundthecorner from the blog of the same name, Clem Around The corner. In a few steps, make a bowl to your liking and at a lower cost !
EQUIPMENT
- A pine cleat 160 cm long and 7 cm wide
- A pencil
- A bracket
- A saw
- Medium grit sandpaper
- 8 brackets
- 32 self-drilling screws
- A brush
- Colorless varnish
- 4 square feet 15 cm
- 16 hinge screws 20 mm
- A screwdriver
- Two stainless steel bowls with a diameter of 21.5 cm
STEP 1
Along your cleat and using a pencil and a square, trace the lines to the dimensions to be cut out then cut 5 pieces of wood to obtain :
- 2 cleats 60 cm long
- 3 cleats 20 cm long
Tip : A miter box is ideal for ensuring a straight cut.
STEP 2
Sand each cleat, insisting on the ends to smooth the wood and its roughness using medium-grit sandpaper.
STEP 3
Arrange the 2 large 60 cm cleats parallel, leaving some space to position the 3 20 cm cleats inside. Have one at each end and one in the center. The small cleats are positioned inside the large cleats.
Using 8 brackets, 32 self-supporting screws and the screwdriver, fix the different cleats together.
STEP 4
Varnish the entire structure then let it dry for the time indicated using the colorless varnish and the brush.
STEP 5
Position the 4 square feet 15 cm at each corner of the structure then secure them using a screwdriver and 16 hinge screws 20mm.
STEP 6
Turn the assembly over and position the 2 bowls in the holes.
