Steps

STEP 1

Start by cutting your 1x6 board. Make 4 cuts at 23.5” each using a miter saw.

Tools

Circular Saw
Cutting wood to size

STEP 2

Use your drill with a hole saw attachment to make 4 holes through one of the 23.5” boards. I spaced mine evenly about every 4.75”.

STEP 3

Once your holes are cut, use a sander to smooth the edges a bit.

STEP 4

Now it’s time to attach all of your boards. Use wood glue between each board, and stack the 3 boards without holes first. Hold the boards in place using the brad nailer with 1.25” brad nails.

STEP 5

Stack the board with holes last. Use wood glue on the bottom of this board before attaching it to your other 3 boards and nail in place using the brad nailer.

STEP 6

Now finish the block using your choice of paint or wood stain. I chose to stain mine, and once it was dry I used the sander to distress the finish a bit. Attach a metal pull to each each using your drill.
