Upcycle! Old door made into a corner shelf

Saw this on pinterest months ago and have wanted to tackle it.  I had a few old doors from when we remodeled the house.  somehow they got put outside for a few weeks and got rained on.....so they are even more distressed that they originally were!  To do this project you need:

Old door (six panel works best.  tried with a two panel and found out you need a solid panel up and down the middle to cut though or else it doens't sit together at a 90 degree angle)

Table saw

drill
screws
scraper
sandpaper
paint-if desired

Cut the door down the middle using the table saw.  you have to account for the thickness of the door.  so measure the door and then split that on the middle-example if your door is an inch thick, find the center and cut it a half inch bigger than that.  This was when you screw the two sides together, it's the same size.  i think this mithod is easier than cutting it exactly the same then installing hinges on it.

Sand or scrap away old paint.  In the first one I did, i scraped all the peeling paint and left it as is.  The second one I'm working on I painted brown then scuffed up the brown paint with sandpaper.  I'm in the process of adding shelves to that one.

Experiiment and have fun. There is no right or wrong here!
