Shoe rack plans
A slatted shoe rack: two sides, tiers of two slats pocket-screwed between them, a top to sit things on. Free, any size: open it in uCAD, change the sizes or the lumber you can buy, or just tell its AI what you need, and the parts, the screws and the cut list follow.
Level: easy · Time: about 2 h · Shown: Shoe rack 800 mm
Make it your size

Your store sells other lengths or sections? Put in yours in uCAD's cut list: what to buy and how to cut it are worked out again.
How to cut it
From US lumber, a 1/8" saw kerf between the pieces; the hatched ends are left over.
1x12
1x4
Build it step by step
The sides and the slats: two pocket holes at each end of every slat, on its underside; mark the tiers on the sides, glue and screw the slats between them.
The top: two pocket holes along the top edge of each side, on its inside face; set the top on, flush at the back, and screw up into it.
The pocket holes: a pocket-hole jig set to the board's thickness. In uCAD, Build steps plays these one by one on the model, the wood see-through so you can see where every screw goes.
Questions
Can I change the size?
Yes: open it in uCAD and type the sizes you need in its panel. The parts, the joints, the screw lengths and the cut list follow.
My store doesn't sell 1x12. What then?
Choose what yours sells in the plan's panel (19 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm): it's built again for that lumber, with screws to match.
