Contemporary Shelving Unit Step-by-Step Instructions1. Cut the rails (B) for each tower to 2-1/2" wide x 20" long. 2. Check each rail for straightness and flatness. 3. Join the rails to the stiles with half-lap joints. 4. Obtain the exact thickness of the rail stock. This will be the depth of the two rabbets in each rail needed to make the half-lap joints to join them to the stiles. 5. Set your table or radial arm saw to make multiple cuts so you can quickly make the 24 rabbet cuts in each of the stiles required to make one tower. 6. Use a dado head cutter on a table saw and attach a stop block—set up so the cut establishes the correct rabbet width—to the rip fence. NOTE: When attaching the stop block, make sure the block is far enough in front of the dado cutter so that once you start cutting, the rail will be free and clear of the stop block. This eliminates any chance of binding which could cause kickback. 7. Hold the edge of the rail against the miter gauge and butt the end of the rail against the stop block. 8. Use the miter gauge to pass the rail over the dado cutter. 9. Make two or three more passes to clean out the remaining stock. 10. Attach a stop block to the guide fence to set up the radial arm saw for cutting the rabbet. 11. Cut stiles for each tower to 2-1/2" wide x 72" long. 12. Check each stile for straightness and flatness. 13. Use a stop block again to cut the rabbet on one end of a stile, then move the rip fence to cut the dado. 14. Repeat the previous step on the opposite end of the stile. 15. Set aside the stop block and cut the two inner dadoes on each end of the stile. 16. Repeat the process to cut the rabbets and dadoes on the rest of the stiles. 17. Sand the inside edges and adjusting the rails for a good fit. 18. Glue the frames together. 19. Use pipe clamps to pull the stiles together, one frame at a time. the frames one Use C-clamps to squeeze each half-lap joint. 20. Check the frame for squareness. 21. Set the frame aside to dry overnight. 22. Use a belt sander to sand all parts thoroughly and all joints for a smooth fit, taking care to remove all cross-grain scratches. |
