Tools and Materials

  • Beechwood board
    • 70 cm long × 10 cm wide × 2 cm thick
  • Aluminium rod
    • 60 cm long, Ø 6 mm
  • Wood glue

Instructions: Building the jewellery stand

Step 1: Cutting the wooden boards to size

First, cut the wooden board into two pieces, each 30 cm long. Bevel the ends at a 30-degree angle. A cordless table saw is best for this, but you can also use a cordless circular saw, jigsaw or mitre saw.

❱❱ Note: This cut is crucial, as the boards will later be joined at exactly this angle to create the shape of the jewellery stand. Afterwards, sand the angled ends using the VARRITO.

💡 Tip: Check the angle with an angle gauge before beveling to ensure both boards match exactly.

Step 2: Drilling recesses for jewellery

Now draw a vertical centre line on one of the boards using a folding rule and pencil. Measure the spacing for the three jewellery recesses and mark the drilling points evenly along the line. Using a 45 mm Forstner bit and the cordless drill/driver, drill the three recesses at the marked positions.

❱❱ Tip: Make sure not to drill all the way through the wood so that small trays are created for rings and earrings.

Step 3: Drilling holes for the metal rods

Next, take the second wooden board. Drill the holes for the metal rods into this board.

❱❱ Tip: These holes must also be drilled at a 30-degree angle so that the metal rods stand upright once the two boards are joined. Position the cordless drill/driver at the corresponding angle.

Step 4: Sanding the recesses and drill holes

A man sands a wooden piece on a workbench using an Einhell cordless multitool.

For a clean, high-quality finish, carefully sand the jewellery recesses drilled with the Forstner bit as well as the holes for the metal rods.

Step 5: Gluing and nailing the wooden boards together

Apply wood glue to the bevelled edges and join the two boards together to form a stable 30-degree wooden angle. Secure everything with screw clamps and additionally fasten the boards using the FIXETTO cordless nailer. Allow the glue to cure completely.

Step 6: Cutting and inserting the metal rods

A man cuts a metal rod clamped to a workbench using an Einhell cordless cut-off tool.

Now cut the metal rods to the required length using the cordless cut-off grinder so that they fit precisely into the prepared drill holes. Alternatively, you can use a cordless angle grinder. Once everything is fully dry, insert the metal rods into the drilled holes.
