Measures:

25cm X 25cm X 130cm

Modules:

Double shelf ,

Open box

First you have to plan your vision and adjust it to your needs, do this step carefully and you will gain lots time and money.

I used cardboard for a little model and SketchUp for 3D model....

Measure

After you know exactly what you want, measure you model and multiply it to you needs.

for example: if my model is 2cm X 2cm X 2cm and i want it to be 30cm X 30cm X 30cm, my multiplier is 15.

take all the measures from the model you built times the multiplier, and you are ready for the next step...

Precision Is the Name of the Game...

Choose you favorite type of wood,

carefully cut it precisely to your measures.

Let the Glue Begin

Now its my favorite part, assemble each of the module piece's together.

use wood glue and screws to attach the parts.

TIP: when you screw a bolt, push a bit further then the surface and then cover the niche with wood glue, after it dries, polish it. this will conceal your screws

Polish and Paint

first hand, paint it with wood paint, then polish it to give it the old effect.

optional second hand with either same paint or lacquer, personally i loved it as it came out after the first hand so i left it as is.

Add hooks for keys...

Done!
