How to make it
Clamp wood before sawing so both hands stay on the saw and away from the blade.
1Cut the base slot
Clamp the base board. Saw a slot 1/2 in deep down its center with the hand saw, as wide as the pegboard.
2Test the fit
Push the pegboard into the slot. Widen the slot with sandpaper if it's too tight.
3Cut the shelf
Saw a 6 in piece off the scrap in the miter box. Sand the cut edges.
4Make shelf pegs
Grown-up step: drill 2 holes 1/2 in deep in the shelf's back edge. Glue dowels in so they stick out 1 in.
5Paint everything
Paint the pegboard, base and shelf. Let them dry 2 hours.
6Glue the stand
Glue the pegboard into the slot. Clamp it overnight.
7Load it up
Push the shelf pegs into any holes. Add small pegboard hooks for scissors and cables.
Edie's tipPegboard hooks from the hardware store fit these holes, so add more anytime.
