Fire-side Wood Holder
A fireside store for kindling and Logs. Designed to save trips out to the log store, she will hold 50 - 70 logs and three bags of kindling with space on top for additional storage and cut outs to allow air flow around the wood. I designed it to fit in the cubby beside my fire which not everyone will have, but it is free standing with floor dimensions of 540mm x 606mm and 1220mm in height so hopefully this design will be of some use to my fellow makers. Enjoy.

Instructions
Cut one of all parts, apart from the kindling support which requires two All parts made from 12mm ply apart from bottom shelf which is 17.5mm for strength Two of the three sides use 12 mm x 1220mm x 606mm full sheets of wood For cutting the long cuts, you can do all the long cuts on the shaper but it will take some time, probably best to cut to approx 6mm depth then use a jigsaw to cut out, saving some time. No offset required, parts should push together snugly. You may need to persuade them slightly with a mallet. All parts are dog-boned Dry fit all parts and optionally figure out where to use router with roundover bit to make pretty Glue and tack everything together, dry, finish, and use. My build was utilitarian so I just used some stain to blend with other woodwork in the house, but did very little in the way of finish, sanding etc. I was worried that the weight on the shelf would be too great and considered adding supports but have been keeping heavy hardwood in it, stacked full most of the time over the last several months and have had no issues with warping.
