Mini Towel Rack

The towel rack and really the problem was at the previous tenant ordered the landlord put the hooks in, but not in stuff. They just screwed him into the drywall, see the only stud for this area of the bathroom was right in the middle, and so this caused a lot of problems with weighted towels on top. So we wanted to take a design pattern that we had from our French cleat coat hooks and not the actual cleat in the back, but just the beveled cuts on all four sides.

So I had some spare plywood around the shop and wanted to use that for our solution here. So I pulled out the table saw, got it all, set up with the shop back and got it all plugged in set the table saw to seven inches, and then I went ahead and ripped that plywood down to seven inches after having the width cut. Turn my table saw blade to 45 degrees to get that beveled edge, and I just ran the board through the table, saw in order to get that beveled edge on either side turn it around and cut the other side as well.

After doing that on the two long pieces and needed to go ahead and use my crosscut sled to cut the beveled edges on either side, this would give me four nice clean, 45-degree angles on either side, which is what the aesthetic that we were looking for was so after taking those cuts down, I went ahead and used my orbital sander to kind of give it a quick sand with 220 grit sandpaper and to kind of sand off some of the burnt marks.
