4 Easy Steps to Burn a Saturday

Step 1: Bag the ambitious plans for the adjustable shelves
involving gang-routing slots through banded sets of 2x4s
and instead go for the laddered utility shelves (i.e. - the
ones you have a snowball's chance of finishing in one day).

Step 2: Chamfer the rear top plate so thatyour cable TV still works,
install the cleats to support the rear of the shelves, and
add the front vertical beams.

Step 3: After all shelf supports are installed, dry fit the 3/4" plywood
shelving before installing them with Elmer's carpenter glue
and securing them to the supports with screws.

Step 4: All done. Then the wife put a bunch of her stuff on the shelves
and went shopping with Meagan.
