Carpentry & Woodworking

STEPS 6-10 of 10

Build two center shelf supports by positioning pairs of shelf risers back-to-back and joining them with wood glue and 2 1/2-inch screws.

Build four end shelf supports by positioning the back of a dadoed shelf riser against a 2x4 of the same length and joining them with glue and 2 1/2-inch screws.

Position an end shelf support at each corner of the shelving unit between the top and sole plates. Attach the supports by driving 3-inch screws at an angle into the top plates and sole plates.

Position a center shelf support (one with both faces dadoed) at each end of the center sole plate, then anchor the shelf supports to the sole plate using 3-inch screws driven at an angle. Use a framing square to align the center shelf supports perpendicular to the top plates, then screw them to the top plates.

Using a circular saw and a straightedge guide, trim the shelf risers to a uniform length before unclamping them.
