How to Make a Coat Rack. Easy, Quick & Cheap!

don't don't thing went down went and went and left and left and where dental and identity Dan thing with that here we go here we go now I know what you're thinking and no Rockies not making a comeback but it is time to grab a protein shake throw on some gym gear and warm up those muscles because it's time for the world's first ever 30-minute challenge let's do it I'm excited [Music] get a folks my name's uncle knackers and we're watching DIY for knuckleheads and we're still wearing that hat that can go whoops now what I plan to do with the 30-minute challenge is to do a number of simple projects that anybody can do over the weekend and in under 30 minutes I sound like Jamie Oliver and to prove it I've got my 30-minute challenge stopwatch to keep me honest let's do it as you can see there's 30 minutes on the clock and your time starts now let's go alrighty the first cab off the rank is going to be this super simple coat rack made from an old piece of fascia board and these ultra cool vintage oil hooks which I absolutely l.o.v.e love let's do it now the first thing we need to do is to cut that around edge of our fascia board which is normally about 25 millimetres or an inch wide to rip your fascia board down you can either use your table saw and don't worry if you don't have a table saw you can still just use your trusty old circular saw the circular saw guide – easy alright the fascia board has now been ripped down and we have an edge but we also need another edge so that these can wrap around the coatrack so you'll need to cut two lengths of fascia board to get the two edges right next step cut a coatrack to length mine is going to be eleven hundred and twenty millimeters which is a bee's leg over forty four inches so let's head over to the drop saw to do that now [Music] okay so far we have the coatrack cut the length and also the two sides cut they're going to be attached to the coat rack but before we go any further let's check that time okay I'll stop the clock and it looks like we've been going for about seven minutes all right we're on track let's keep going the next thing we need to do is to cut these edge strips to length so to simply line them up to the edge of your coat rack put a mark on it there's enough room so you can cut a 45 degree angle so do it to both pieces head over to the drop saw and get those cut [Music] now with the two side pieces done grab the offcut and then just line that up with one of the edges and mark the other side and do the same for the other end take it over to the saw cut a 45 and you're done but before that let's check out the time so far so good looking good people 10 minutes we're on track let's go [Music] all those edge cases have now been cut and now it is simply a matter of gluing and nailing them in place and for that I'm just using my trusty old nail gun with a 38 millimeter or inch and a half galvanized nail let's go [Music] and that's the cut rack basically done now all you need to do is give it a sand a paint job and then put on those beautiful vintage wire hooks now let's check that time out all right that stopped the clock and we are on almost 19 minutes times getting tight can we do it let's keep going [Music] okay I've stopped the clock at 21 minutes just to explain what we're doing next oh I tell you what it's going to be tight okay the coat rack has never been sanded it's now ready for the finish and also to screw on our vintage wire coat hooks the plan of attack is to mark out where all of these coat hooks are going to go screw the holes take the brackets off give it a paint job and then screw those back on and hopefully we'll sneak in under that 30 minutes let's give it a go [Music] you [Music] and when I take these off so we can apply there clear finish oh we're down down to the wire we've got three and a half minutes left and we still have to apply one coat of that hard wax oil and then put all those coat hooks back on like I said before it's going to be tight let's go [Music] you [Music] come on come on come on come on all right come on quickly quick a quick ah quick okay tools down stop the clock okay stop the clock and what did we finish up with Oh 29 minutes and roughly 25 seconds Oh place it Kate still had 35 seconds up my sleeve too easy was a closi so that's it folks what do you reckon my first-ever 30 minute challenge I think it turned out okay great tip knackers ah well I hope you enjoyed and found useful the first-ever 30 minute challenge I had a great time doing it even though at the end it got a bit tight and it's amazing
