Wood Working Project: Learning Tower

with pocket holes











Materials
-(x4) 1x4x8' pine boards
         Got mine at local building supply store (https://www.newriverbuilding.com/)

- (x1) 1x16x24 board
         I used stain ready poplar from LOWES

- Kreg Jib
        I got one from LOWES (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kreg-Pocket-Hole-Jig/1072743)
        I love this jig and used it for building flower boxes a couple years ago
        I'd recommend using their scews and plugs (I got two boxes of 50 and used almost all of them)

- (x8) supports for step boards

- Paint & Stain


Plans
- I used these plans found on Pinterest. They worked very well but the angle was a little hard to match. My tower was about a 2 degree angle but I think it would have looked better with a 3degree angle.
