Viewer Project - By Chet from Camas, Washington
Added on October 21, 2009

I am a beginner in wood working and wanted to share with you a File Hanger that I built. It is made out of Maple and Walnut. It took two months to finish. I first made full scale parts of MDF to see how it would fit together. That process helped me to see the proper steps to take and kept me from ruining the more expensive hardwoods. I hope you enjoy it.

Looks great are they all made individually then attached or do they have a common backing. Great job for a beginner keep up that knid of work and you won’t have to call yourself a beginner anymore.

Great job Chet. I like the contrast between the Maple and Walnut. Nice finish also.

What does it mean when the first thing I thought of looking at these was “Oooh, a place to sort my grits of sandpaper…”?

very nice – I may have to make some of those for my office

I like your choice of woods. From the clamping pictures it appears to have a common back but I cant see how .. hmmm

Looks great!! If I may ask, how did you finish it? The color combination is very close to what I have in mind for a project I’m working on.

Thanks to all of you for the positive feedback. To answer the two main questions… This was made as separate units with one unified rabbit holding a 1/4″ piece of plywood on the back. It was finished with Old Masters natural stain and then spray poly-urethane.
