Countersink screws through the fixed shelf into pars.
D. ATTACH FIXED SHELF TO VERTICALS


E
When measuring the cuts for shelving, be sure to
compensate for cut waste based on your type of circular
saw blade.
1. Measure in 7
3
/4" from the left (vertical ) side of F
the fixed shelf and make two marks 3" in from the
front and back edges on the underside of the shelf.
This is the center placement for the pars.
2. Drill a pilot hole at marks.
3. Set a par on center to marks on fixed shelf.
Countersink 2" screws through the top of the fixed
shelf down into the center of the par at marks.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other par on the
right side.
5. Place a cap in the countersunk holes for a
smooth finish.
E. PREPARE ADJUSTABLE SHELVES
1. Measure out nine 12 X 7" shelves on a piece
of 1/ 2"-thick melamine shelf stock without
pre drilled holes.
2. Cut the shelf stock at cutlines, using a circular
saw with a melamine blade.
F. FINISH
1. Set the shoe cubby unit in place within your
custom closet.
2. Lock down cams on the fixed shelf, using a
screwdriver. The left side has a cam and screw,
while the right side has a cam and dowel (which
fits over the screw on the other side of the vertical
that is attached to another fixed shelf-see plans
on page 44).
3. Add shelf pins where desired and slide in
adjustable shelving.
108 BUILD YOUR OWN CUSTOM CLOSET
It is easiest to install adjustable shelving by first tilting it
at a 45 angle, sliding it into place, and then lowering
it down level onto the shelf pegs. Tap into place, if necessary.
