Airplane Wall Decor Shelf

Attach the 1x4 wing supports flush to the back of the fuselage board, set in 3" from the outsides. Predrill and use glue.

Attach the second fuselage board centered on the shelves, inset 3/4" from the shelf fronts. Predrill, glue, and use 2" screws.

Cut the round face out with a 4" hole saw and position it on the nose of the plane — the hole saw will have already bored a small center hole for the propeller screw.

Attach the propeller to the face and screw it down through its center, through the face, and into the fuselage front — snug enough to hold, loose enough that it still spins freely.

Build the landing gear by joining the 1x2 pieces with brad nails and wood glue.

Cut the wheels with a 2" hole saw and attach to the wheel base. Craft-store round wood circles work as a substitute if you don't have a hole saw kit.

Attach the landing gear to the bottom of the plane, inset 2" from the front, with 1-1/4" screws and glue.

Fill any visible holes with wood filler and finish as desired. Attach a picture hanging cleat in two places on the back and hang with drywall anchors.
