+title: mug-holder
+date: 2020-11-29
+
+I made an overdesigned mug holder for my apartment!
+
+# table of contents

+[TOC]
+
+# raw material
+
+I used an old piece of flooring that my dad had laying around.
+This meant that I needed to rip down the sides before beginning.
+The wood is pretty, but not perfect.

+
+# cutting to size
+
+I cut down the wood and used a joiner and planar to finish it.

+
+I used the drill press to dril pilot holes (for hooks) and countersunk through holes (for mounting screws).

+
+# finishing
+
+I sanded the board to take off the edges and saw marks.

+
+I applied two coats of my favorite "salad bowl finish" by brush.
+I did it pretty casually but it came out well.

+
+Finally I installed my hooks, purchased from [Mendards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menards).

+
+# final product
+
+As designed, the mug holder works great on the end of the awkward thin wall that divdes my kitchen and living room.
+Given how little storage space I have in the kitchen, it's a real help.
+Plus it's a nice way to display my mug collection!
