Just the phone: Cable clutter everywhere. With faxes and answering machines, there are even more trip wires. And what to do with transformers and phone books? Our shelves are tidying up. And look good too.
Who does not know her, the search for the optimal location for telephone and Co.? The cables are constantly coiling on the floor of the hallway. The bulky fax machine just doesn't fit on the stylish sideboard. The phone books are lying around, and the transformer of the answering machine: just ugly.
With our three shelf ideas we show you solutions, that literally have it all: Because you can get everything in there, so nicely hidden, that nothing is lying around.
At idea 1 we were inspired by an Ikea shelf: The black lacquer shelf (35 x38 cm, 211 cm high, Preis 199 DM) serves as a base. We have two more shelves of the same thickness, 5 cm, made of MDF and screwed to the right side of the shelf. Two tubular steel table legs serve as supports on the right side of the shelves. The pipes are open 46,5 cm, so they round 8,5 cm beyond the outer edge of the shelf. This overhang can be used very well for hanging up the telephone cord. Like you phone books, Make transformers and cables disappear, read on the following pages.
The shelves are off 19 mm starker MDF-Platte. The edges are circumferential with 31 mm wide MDF strips.
The edges of the floors are sanded flush and rounded off with the router or chamfered with the grinder, to keep the color better. The surface receives three coats of paint with the roller. The sanded edges require five to six coats of paint, bis sie gut füllen. Ein Bordende erhält keine Träger. It is simply screwed to the Ikea shelf. The shelves next to it are painted in the same colour.
Mini board with compartments for telephone books
Outer Ober- and subfloor (Radius 35 cm) and inner upper- and subfloor (Radius 34 cm) are nailed and sawn together.
The cut edges of each of the two floors are ground according to the circle. After that, the panels can be separated.
With a hole saw (7 cm) a hole for writing utensils is worked into the two top panels, which are tacked together with steel pins.
After the edges and surfaces have been sanded, the desired color is stained, then applied wood wax.
The edges of the protruding upper- or. Underbody are rounded off with a 3 mm rounding cutter or a grinder.
The compartments and the bottom for the pens are glued and nailed. Then nail on the inner floors, glue the outer ones on.
The shelf with secret compartment and writing desk
Telephone board and desk at the same time:
The compartment for the answering machine cable and transformer is hidden behind the phone book shelf.
This telephone board has it all. Into the shelf body 19 mm MDF board behind the storage compartment is an approx. 7 cm deep built-in compartment for cable and transformer. It is closed by a superior panel, so that the technology can be accessed at any time. The highlight of the board is a sliding writing desk made of glued ash. It has triangular sections as feet and can therefore be placed anywhere.
Ober- and underbody, the holes for the plugs are drilled. For phone plugs 35 mm, for Schuko plug 40 mm.
The rear wall and the two partition walls are glued and fixed butt to the underbody. Pay attention to exact positioning.
Now use the sander to sand the cut surfaces of the body smooth and slightly chamfer or round off the edges. Triangular feet and triangular bar are butt glued to the desk top. The three shorter triangular bars serve as a pen tray.
Clear varnish is applied several times to the surface of the body. After each layer there is a fine intermediate sanding.
