How to Build a Stylish Towel Holder

In this woodworking video I'll be showing you how to a stylish tower holder to improve your home decor. This custom DIY towel rack holds up to 5 towels. I used Fusion 360 3D CAD software to design the towel holder. This is a cool alternative to a tea towel ladder. This also allowed me to figure out my miter joints. If you just used brad nails instead of case miter joints, its a relatively easy woodworking project and can be done with minimal tools. I however got a little more fancy and used case miter joints (spline miter joints) made from hard maple. The main towel holder is made from walnut wood. I mostly used my miter saw and my DeWalt table saw (DWE7491RS) and my Ridgid orbital sander. Finally, I finished the towel holder with Mr Cornwall's Super Duper Everlasting Oil.
For this project you will need both walnut wood and maple wood.
Main Features
-Walnut wood
-Case miter joints with maple splines
-Holds up to 5 towels

The spline joinery and two tones of wood species turned out great, nice work! 👍🏼

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Thanks! That was my fist time trying something like that. I need to make some more jigs.

[@RLLWoodworks]

Awesome job Travis. That's a complicated build but you nailed it dude!

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Thanks! I WAS way harder than I thought it was going to be

[@SinnisjInsulator]

Loving the detailed work on the corners.

Very cool project. Came out awesome. Really liked how you added the splines. Good job.

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Thank you, Sir!

[@SinnisjInsulator]

Such a great idea for a project and digging the plans view and how you designed it.

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Thanks man. I enjoy designing it in CAD before hand. I figure I might as well offer cheap plans to my viewers.

[@FowlersFarmhouseMore]

May be building these for our new house

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

They look awesome! Adds a nice farm house feel

[@SinnisjInsulator]

One day I'll have all the tools you have and become a master woodworker

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Haha. You just need to get one tool at a time. I just want to keep getting better every time I do another project.

[@SinnisjInsulator]

@@HowIDoThingsDIY that is true, but also need a bigger garage, or for the kids to grow up much older lol

[@SinnisjInsulator]

Too much hockey equipment atm

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

I hear you. You can never have too big of a garage.

[@SinnisjInsulator]

@@HowIDoThingsDIY well I don't have the property for expansion lol. I do envy your garage lol

[@jlowrie33]

What size screws / anchors to you use to pass through the wood? I was thinking of using keyholes, but I'm afraid the wood might stress over time given the environment. Thank you!

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Sorry, I don't recall what size screws I used. I think keyholes would be ok. I would just make sure to make them deep and try to make the screws fit tight so it doesn't fall off the wall. Thanks for the comment!

[@7blueelkwrangler7]

Watched, Liked, and Subscribed. Great piece. I am interested in the floating shelves with iron straps visible at the end of the video. Are they DIY?

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Thanks so much. My wife actually bought those at hobby lobby, but you could just make a floating shelf and buy the metal strap and nail on with brad nails.

[@melaniemadigan3160]

What measurements did you use TIA 🙂

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

I'll try to remember to measure. I also have reasonably priced build plans if you're interested. howidothingsdiy.com/plans/ols/products/wooden-towel-holder-plans
