Blackboard

How to make your own DIY blackboard. I used the materials I did as I had them in the shed already.

A large bit of MDF 9mm, screwed to the wall.

We then painted it with black silk emulsion as this is what we had in the shed, Blackboard paint can be brought quite cheap so unless you have black emulsion laying about i would buy the correct paint.

​

Next I screwed on some baton left over from building the shed/pub. I layed it "flat" for the top and sides as per the pictures.The bottom piece I drill and screwed in "sideway" so it forms a little shelf for the chalk.

​

That's how you make a blackboard that didn't cost me a penny, just some scrap bits and a hours work.
