Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Measure twice cut once..and then cut a couple more times
Before you start your first cut, be sure to clamp your 24” x 48” inch plywood to a stationary table or workbench using 2 clamps. Now it’s time to make your mark! Measure out 8"x24" inches and mark your line with a pencil.(See Cut List for guidelines) Next, measure and cut (2) 5"x24x3/4" boards. Keep in mind that one of these boards will be used for the back of the shelf (where it would be attached to a wall) and the other you’ll use to cut out the side brackets. Helpful hint:To ensure you are cutting a straight line place a separate wooden board against the mark to help guide your saw as your make your cut. Also remember to account for your guide on your saw by measuring half an inch to the left of your cut line in the direction you are going to cut in.
Cut the brackets, don't be afraid to get fancy!
Using one of the 5x24” boards, measure and cut two (5”x7”) sections. Once cut, flip the board over and on the opposite sides, measure 1” up from the long edge (see picture) and 1” from the short edge. Now’s the time for your artistic ability to shine through! Use these marks as your guide to then draw a fancy curve/design of your choice between the measured points. Helpful hint: Wondering which one of your fine wooden boards to use for your brackets? Pick the ugly one! No really! You’ll only be using a small section of this board so you can make those choice cuts and keep that shelf looking pristine!
