Here's How We Built this Welly Boot Rack
First, cut the boards using a compound miter saw or circular saw, following the cut list.
Cut the longest cuts first, to maximize material use.
Then, mark location of holes to drill on the longer 2x3 boards. Drill a pilot hole all the way through at the marks.
Then, using a 7/8" spade bit, drill halfway through the same pilot hole. TIP: Tape the drill bit to guide the depth of hole you are drilling.
Apply glue to bottom of the dowels.
Place dowels in the holes and screw from bottom through the predrilled pilot hole to secure.
Attach the two rows of dowels to the bottom 2x3s with screws.

Instructions
Step 1
Mark the location of the dowels on the 30" 2x3s.
Step 2
Drill pilot holes all the way through.
What is a pilot hole? It's just a small hole drilled for screws, the hole diameter should be about the size of your screw shaft.
Then tape your 7/8" drill bit 3/4" up from the tip, and drill over the pilot hole, 3/4" deep.
Step 3
Apply glue inside the hole and insert dowel.
Secure from bottom with screws through the pilot hole.
Step 4
Here's the two rows of dowels prepped - the longer dowels are all on the back row, the shorter dowels are on the front row.
Step 5
Attach the two rows of dowels with the remaining 2x3s as shown.
