Bathroom accessories cabinet.
I made this unit from blue foam with hardwood glued to all sides. The idea is to eventually cut holes on a 30 degree angle so items stay in place when unit is mounted. I suggest cutting through the wood using a hole saw with centre drill out on the flat and then put pilot drill back in and place box on the jig. It is open underneath for the clamps to hold it when you drill the foam on the angle. the cutouts will be glued into the hole bottoms and aluminum siding coloured will be rolled up and inserted in each hole. The unit is mounted with two screws on the inside of your medicine cabinet. I have the following items stored in the unit when we park: toothpaste, two battery operated toothbrushes, my shaver, Q tips etc..It can be tricky to drill on the angle. You will need an extra set of hands and drill press. Be careful. This uses spare space in our unit!

Cold Smoker for BBQ.
Use 3 inch dryer tubing with two end caps. One end is opened up with snips and bolted to bottom of one burner in BBQ. The other end is screwed in place and acts as a reducer to the brass tube used in this prototype. I made the burner from stainless steel and pop riveted it in place. The bottom is a hand formed end from the 2 inch brass tubing with thumb screws. A wooden form was used to shape the end. An aquarium pump supplies the air to the combustion chamber and a piece of lit charcoal supplies the pieces of wood chips to start the smoke. A valve controls how much air is pumped into the burner. Another winner!!

Wine/Liquor Bottle Storage Unit
This unit holds 11 bottles. The unit is made from 3/8 inch plywood with cherry trim on the edges. It measures 17.5 inches long x 13 3/8 inches wide x 7 inches high. The wine bottle area has no bottom and the liquor boxes have 3/8 bottoms glued and brad nailed in place. The dado is 1/8 deep x 3/8 wide 2 inches in from inside of the box at the ends. Make the wine bottle supports by taking two pieces of cherry or your choice and make it 3/8 x 3 ยพ x 12 ยพ. Cut out 3 inch and 1 ยผ inch holes with hole saws and then cut each piece down the middle = 4 pcs. Shorten the top 2 pieces by 1/16 inch to allow an easy slide in. The bottom wine bottle holders are glued and brad nailed in place. The second row of wine goes in the opposite way to the ones in bottom row. The three liquor areas are about 3 and 7/8 inches square inside. If you do the math the one in the middle is larger. The box bottoms have felt installed. The 3 boxes are dado joins which are glued for strength. The dado depth is 1/8 inch. The top trim hides all dados. I store this unit in our closet when travelling. It will take a long day to make this project. Measure twice and cut once. The corners of the main frame are made using a drawer router bit but you could use a dado so they have ยผ inch of contact. The drawer bit allows more glue contact and is easier to square the box at assembly as the pieces lock together when the ends are glued. The top trim was glued and held in place with masking tape.
