Bathroom Scale Caddy - midwest.social

Our bathroom has very little extra floor space so the scale has been leaning up against the wall. Taking adavtage of extra wall space behind the door to safely store the scale. I constructed it like a very short drawer. Cherry sides with 3/16" plywood bottom. [https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/e924b531-a097-470a-9510-0a5a917a0f1b.jpeg]

I love it! You can also keep an old iPad in there for “reading material”!

That’s what I thought it was before I read the description.

Very functional, good project!

That’s gorgeous. How did you cut the grooves / notches? Table saw?

I’m not sure how OP did it, but a dado blade set on a table saw is how I would do it.

Router table but yeah a table saw would do it too.

Damn, this is a good idea! I used to lean mine against the wall but one day it slipped and ended up shattering (was 99% glass, whoops). Since then I’ve one flat on the floor and it’s a little in the way, so something like this would be great!

Our toddler messing with this glass scale was the inspiration! I bet an off the shelf letter holder would work.

Beautiful and I like those joints. May I ask how you attached the bottom to it? And is everything just glued?

There’s a groove on the insides of the walls that the plywood fits into.

Plain wood glue for the corners but the bottom is not glued in order to let the sides move with humidity changes.
