I was inspired past Ana White'south plans for the same, and I followed her cut list on a 4' 10 4' sheet of plywood (half of a full-size sheet). One full sheet makes 18 files!! I made 9 and even that felt generous.

To make nine wood magazine file holders, you volition demand:

  • one half-sheet (four′ 10 4′) of plywood, 1/4″ thick. (Utilize a total sheet for xviii.) I sprang for hardwood ply, considering I'grand worth it.
  • ane×iv length of timber, 8' long. Technical annotation: my piece was actually 19mm x 90mm x 2.4m, because of the metric system. The actual size is about the aforementioned.
  • PVA gum
  • Quality painter'due south tape
  • Clamps (optional)
  • Finishings of your choice: paint, varnish, decoupage paper, etc
