Shopping List
Brackets Pick a bracket slightly larger than the magazine you plan to store, with scrollwork that extends enough to keep the corners from flopping over.
1x boards Select boards at least as wide (plus ¼ inch) as the bracket is long.
Molding Choose a profile up to ¾ inch to cover the exposed edges of the 1x boards. It's okay if it's slightly smaller; that will create a subtle reveal. Wood glue
1¼-inch brad nails to attach the back to the base.
⅝-inch brad nails to attach the molding to the edges of the base and back.
Wood filler
Primer spray paint
Semigloss spray paint
