Coat rack jig

                              Coat Rack Jig 

This is a jig to help make the holes at the right angle for a coat rack. Coat racks are a simple and fun project that is also useful.

This is the side view of a coat rack jig. This will give you the right angle for the pegs on a coat rack.

I used a thin piece of plywood for the top and  two 3/4" by 10" pine strips 2" on one side and tapering down. I used glue and small nails to fasten the two sides to the top.

This is my son making the holes for the pegs for a coat rack  on a drill press.
