Rustic Caddy using Reclaimed Fence

It seems everywhere you look these days you can find a caddy of some sort. They can serve many purposes.

In this post I'll show you how I turned unwanted fence and discarded chair parts into something very useful.

After cutting the fence pieces to size, I clamped the pieces together so that I could use my nail gun to quickly assemble the pieces.

I chose a chair spindle to make the handle, using the compound miter saw to cut to size.

I drilled a pilot hole on each side and used a black (drywall) screw to secure the handle.

I did a quick wash of red paint, followed with some watered down black paint to tie the pieces together. Diluting the paint allows the "rustic" to show through. :)
