Kitchen Herb-Garden Shelving Unit

Step 2Plan

Plan
Get a feel for what the finished unit will be like. There are a few main components.

Check out the first image, the renderings of the finished shelving, to get an idea for what it looks like in 3D. In that image, the top shots are colorized by part:

Purple is the shelves
Orange is the top canopy plywood cap
Dark and light blue are the canopy plywood
Yellow are shelf brackets
Green is the drainage tubes
Transparent gray is the bare foil lining the backs of the canopies.

The other photo is a sketch of the wood pieces and the various cuts needed. The pieces are labeled by letter.

A, B, and C: the front pieces of the canopy. Made out of the 1/8" plywood. (Blue in the rendering)

D: the backs of the canopies. This will just be tinfoil, since you can't really see it, no need to use wood. (Transparent Gray in the rendering)

E: the top canopy cap. (Orange in the rendering)

F: the actual shelves (Purple in the rendering)

The third image shows the layout of the wood (colorized similarly to the first image, lettered corresponding to the second) and how I cut it. The canopy pieces A, B, and C conveniently fit together for cutting out of the strips of plywood.
