Howdy Norman,

You can make it to a size you desire---suitable for your needs.

Ex: 3ft long, the width of your entry door, and 18-24" deep.

Select the o/a (overall) size, so as to utilize a full board material size---ex cut and ripped from a 1x 10 x (random length) cedar.

 

If you're new at wood working, you can make sketches/drawings or make temporary templates from cardboard, before tackling the project and cutting up the wood.

TIP: allow material for the saw kerfs.

 

Place the cardboard pieces on a suitable flat surface, tape the pieces in place, step back and have a look-see----if it's to your liking---''go for it''.

 

TIP:  make the pieces a ''tad'' longer, so that if any pieces don't align, you can trim afterwards.

Yeah, I thought about running the slats lengthwise, but determined (as Ken mentioned) that they might end up sagging or even spring a bit when standing on them. Plus, the slats are pretty narrow; I didn't want them to possibly crack. I then thought for a moment about adding a center support underneath, but opted to keep the design as simple as possible.

Running the slats the long dimension, (side-to-side), will result in increased sagging/distortion, over time, and not be flat, (the surfaces in the same plane).

This is pretty darn funny.  Checking out the site because i just got my kreg jig and trying to pick that first project.

I think the slats should be running sideways not top down.  The reason why is if someone has mud on there shoes then the top of the slats would "scrape" the debris off.  Just an observation from someone else who lives in Novato.  Great to see that there is someone else from here on this forum.

Do you have a written plan for this?  It looks great and would be fun to build.

Product Reviews

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
