Once the piece has a good fit, use the crosspiece as a template to cut a second crosspiece for the remaining side assembly. If you’re a perfectionist like me, you’ll cut and trim these pieces a few times to get a perfect fit. Mark the angle along the front edge, and then cut the piece to size. Size the Remaining CrosspiecesĮlevate the assembled side on scrap blocks, and then slide a 1×2 under the frame, aligned with a mark for a shelf. To do so, hold a level against the outer edge of the back leg to check that it’s plumb-or perfectly vertical-and then set the level on the bottom crosspiece to ensure it sets level between the front and back leg. Check that the Side Sets LevelĪt this point, it’s a good idea to check that the assembled shelf side sets level. Apply glue to the ends of the crosspieces, and then secure them using a drill/driver and 1¼” pocket hole screws.

Install the Top and bottom Crosspieces between Two LegsĪlign the top crosspiece with the top edge of the back leg, and the bottom crosspiece above the mark for the bottom shelf. Using a tape measure, speed square and pencil, mark the height of the shelves on the back legs at 6″, 20″, 34″, 48″ and 62″. We’ll fill the pocket holes in the top crosspieces after assembly, so the pocket holes can be offset, but the rest of the pocket holes should be located along the bottom edge of each crosspiece so that they will be concealed by the shelves later on. Prep a Top and Bottom Crosspieceĭrill a pocket hole at each end of a top and bottom crosspiece.
While I provided measurements for all of the crosspieces in my cut list below, I recommend cutting the top and bottom crosspieces to length, attaching them between the legs, and then cutting the remaining crosspieces to fit to ensure perfect joints. The sides are made up of a back 1×2 leg with two square cut ends, an angled front leg mitered at parallel 9-degree angles, and crosspieces that set horizontally at the height of each shelf with one square cut end and one mitered end meet the angle of the front leg.
