Wall Shelf Instructions

Step 1: Make the Sides (A)

1. Cut two pieces of 3/4" stock to 8" wide by 12" long. NOTE: The width and length dimensions allow extra stock.

2. Mark the curved profile from the grid pattern shown in the schematic to just one of the sides (A).

3. Use a band saw or jigsaw to make the curved profile cut, staying slightly on the waste side of the line.

4. Sand the edge of the completed cut smooth.

5. Use the completed side piece (A) profile to trace the contour on the remaining side (A).

6. Repeat substeps 3 and 4 for the remaining side (A).

Step 2: Make the Notches in the Sides (A) to Accept the Stretcher (B) and Pegboard (C)

1. Layout and mark the location of the 3/8" deep X 2" long notches on the sides (A) that accept the stretcher (B) and the pegboard (C).

2. Cut the stretcher notch by using a fine-toothed hand backsaw OR a table saw in conjunction with a dado-head set to make a 3/8" cut and miter gauge to pass the stock, on edge, through the cutter. NOTE: If you use the table saw method, you will need to make three or four passes to establish the 2" length.

3. Use a chisel and mallet to cut the pegboard notch.

Step 3: Make the Stretcher (B)

1. Cut the stretcher (B) to the correct length and width (see the materials list).

2. Use the table saw and dado head to cut the 3/8" deep by 3/4" wide rabbets on each end of the stretcher (B).

3. Bore 3/16" diameter shank holes at each rabbet.

4. Bore 3/16" diameter shank holes at a point 5-3/4" from each end (see schematic).

5. Counter sink the holes cut in substeps 3 and 4 to accept the flathead wood screws.
