Bluey Dog planter and toy shelf as gifts

Cartoon Series Bluey, aiming at people who may not have built too many things before. 

 

The house bricks are used to do the floor first. The paint containers are handy as well. Sash clamps are good if just gluing. Next, a higher brick for each side one at the time. A single screw at each end at the top. To get the side vertical, a tri square of a house brick to align. The feet were  drawn up to be along a side, so the should easily square up. The work bench needs to be flat for the model not to wobble.

 

The next time around, I’ll make one with just square cut wood. The Bunnings saw sept could cut the wood after the lines have been drawn on the mdf.

Materials

Making two dogs from a single sheet of MDF wood.  Made the design to fit the wood, for minimal wastage.  https://www.bunnings.com.au/16mm-mdf-panel-standard-1200-x-450mm_p0590053

 

Wood screws, and a drill, for pilot holes. Although, glue if no acess to power tools.

Tools

Circlular saw and a jig saw.

If don't have these, can go to the wood section, and ask for rthe wood to be cut, and the bits that are normaly cut off, paint that section with the paint colour that might match the background colour. If a flat tint wall in a bed room, that colour, if in the garden, a green colour like leaves.  Glue wood be used in stead of screws.
