Buchhalter8

To be honest – these bookholders were made by kids 6-10 years old in a workshop with one of my workmates. They had to be helped by assembling them but design and finish was planned by the kids.
I personally didn’t build one myself but will do that within the next days. For all who want to make them too and buy the necessary stuff I’ll write down all you need:
A wooden board or a plywood mesuring 12×8 inches about o.5inches thick,
a border of 12 x 0.5 inches and 0.5inches thick too,
a further wooden board  of 4.5×4.5inches to be sawn diagonally and giving two triangles. We got MDF boards for the last so that our bookends had clean white sides.
Besides you need acrylic paint in requested color to paint the boards.
Our bookends were assembled by nailing them but they could as well be fixed with wooden plugs and woodglue.
They were a Christmas gift for Mom’s kitchen but I think they’re too useful and are a really nice gift the whole year round.
Further pictures to be seen already hereafter but the final instruction on Friday at the latest.
