![]() Drill holes through the wood and bolt the brackets in place and secure them. The brackets were placed just under a shelf so the bolts would not be so obvious. I used square brackets to hold the two sides together. Stand the shelf upright and using a square ruler align the wood to a 90-degree angle against the ruler. This may not be the correct way to do this, but I make up my projects as I go along using the materials I have at home. This is below the last shelf so it will not be visible I had a large plug on my lights, so my hole had to be a bit bigger than I would have liked. Using a hole saw cut a hole in the bottom inside corner for the lights to fit through. Lucky you don’t see the back but you do have the option to paint the back too. I ended up nailing my shelf to the table and had to file the nails down at the back with a file. Note to self, make sure the nails used are not too long for the wood. The supports were glued in place and secured with a nail gun so I could proceed without waiting for the glue to dry. ![]() I placed them leaving an approximately 50 mm gap in the centre and in the front, so they would not be so obvious when assembled. Next, cut some plywood strips to support the shelves these were 20 mm thick. Lay the 2 pieces side by side and start measuring out where you would like your shelves to be, and mark them with a pencil. Using whatever saw you have cut the wood in half along the line, I use a circular saw. I added some painters tape to stop the wood from splintering during cutting. Start by dividing the wood in half from corner to corner. This is a very strong form of plywood that does not seem to bend or bow. I had a large piece of Formply laying around at home which I used for this project, any sturdy wood will work.
