4-Foot Beadboard Wall Shelf

The 4-foot "classic beadboard" wall shelf is simple and cheap to make and it looks great for hanging pictures or decorations on the wall. The project requires only about $10 in materials, but it does required more advanced tools such as a chop saw, table saw, jig saw and router. Comparable shelves sell at between $60-$80.
I can build the project is about 1-2 hours, but it may take longer if you don't have all your tools set up. The plans are free on my woodworking blog at: http://www.jrlwoodworking.com/
You can also make the shelf in 2-foot and 3-foot lengths, simply shrink all the horizontal dimensions by one or two feet.

Great Presents
We actually built three of these for my husband's siblings for Christmas. The best part of it was the low cost. These only cost about $10 a piece and we left them unpainted so they could paint them to match their home decor. And whenever they look at their shelf, they will remember the hand-made Christmas present!
