Did you know that Father’s Day is right around the corner?? Yes, that’s right! It’s officially time to start thinking about what to make for a DIY gift for him this year!

Today we are sharing an idea that is perfect for Father’s Day (or really anyone that loves to grill and needs a good spot to store the BBQ tools). It’s an outdoor wall-mounted DIY grill utensil holder!

We used cedar wood, which is a great type of wood for outdoor projects because it is naturally pretty moisture resistant.

The build is fairly simple so it works great for beginners and the best part is that we’re teaming up with our friends over at Kreg Tools to bring you the woodworking plans for FREE!

Kreg 720PRO Pocket Hole Jig

If you’ve been following Making Manzanita for a bit, you know that we are big fans of the Kreg pocket hole system. We built tons of projects using our original K5 Pocket Hole Jig, we even have a super detailed guide and video about how to use it that you can check out here.

In 2021, Kreg released brand new pocket hole systems that replaced the K4 and K5, and the upgrades are pretty freakin’ awesome.

The new 720PRO (which we were using for this DIY BBQ utensil holder) and the 520PRO (which replaced the smaller K4 system) were improved a ton, the most noticeable change being that they are easier to set up and use – score.

My favorite new feature of 720PRO and 520PRO is the clamp that you don’t have to adjust anymore. You should clamp it down and it automatically adjusts to match the thickness of your wood, so cool, right?

Pocket hole joinery is definitely one of the easiest ways to join wood in woodworking projects. It’s our favorite hidden weapon for beginning woodworkers!

Want to learn more? I wrote a super detailed guide & created a video all about how to set up your Kreg 720PRO Pocket Hole and use it, so be sure to check that out too!

We teamed up with our friends Kreg again for these grill tool holder woodworking plans and we are sharing them online for free, which are now available on KregTool.com!

Kreg’s website is chocked full of so many easy-to-follow FREE woodworking plans! I promise that you are going to find so much inspiration while you’re there! It is a goldmine!

Ready to see how the DIY grill utensil holder turned out?

I absolutely love how it turned out! It’s so convenient to have easy access to everything we need to use while we are grilling. The doors stay closed when it is not in use so everything stays nice and clean.

One of my favorite things that we added to the barbeque tool holder was the holder for the paper towels. How many times do you have to bring the whole roll of paper towels out while you’re cooking meat on the BBQ? SO annoying, right? Now we have easy access to paper towels as needed!

If you want to build this easy DIY BBQ utensil storage rack, we’ve done all the hard work for you! All you need to do is hop over Kreg’s website and check out the full tutorial.
