  1. CoriArt

    This weeks Project: Corian Coat Hooks - 6 coat hooks a, 3 hour project.

    Tools needed: Table saw, Router table, Home oven (toaster oven will do), Oven gloves, a 12" piece of 2"X 6", Drill and enough Corian to make 6 - 12" x 2" x 1/2" strips.

  1. Make the form as shown in the picture above. The piece of 2x6 shown is 8" long. I use gutter spikes in the holes as marked. The Corian will follow the black line.
  2. Use a bevel or round over bit to finish all 12 edges of the 12" pieces of Corian.
  3. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Use an oven thermometer to be sure that the temperature does not exceed 350 degrees.
  4. Put one piece of Corian in the oven and heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until quite flexible.
  5. Remove, with oven gloves, and wrap around nails as shown.
  6. Allow to cool while second piece of Corian is in the oven. You can speed cooling by placing in water in the form.
  7. Repeat for all hooks.
  8. Drill and chamfer holes for mounting.
  9. Sand and polish as desired.

I will add more plans and tips each week. Comment if you are interested. It will encourage me to do more. Don't forget to ask any questions you may have. For more information and supplies visit: http://www.coriartspecialties.com/
