Step 2Prepare your timber/shelving material
Find some timber, approx. 600-800mm long and, say, 120mm wide and 20mm thick. This might be shelving material, flooring, or cut up bits of furniture. You can have almost as many shelves as you want, I suggest 3 to 6, something like that.
Prepare the planks by planing if necessary, cutting to the desired size and sanding.
On the underside of each shelf, drill a row of holes down the length of the shelf. These should be marked out in pencil first, positioned centrally, 30mm apart and of 3mm diameter. Then use every other hole as a pilot for a larger 32mm hole, drilled to half the depth of the plank with a flat or Forstner bit. This step basically involves drilling two types of holes, alternately down the centreline along the length of each shelf.
If you are using laminated chipboard, consider routing any cut edges to disguise any chipping.
