Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Start by ripping the one Shelf and three Braces from a sheet of 19mm thick sanded plywood, as shown in the cutting diagram. A saw guide makes it easy to make straight, accurate cuts. Next, cut each part to final length. Set your Kreg Jig for 19mm thick material, and then drill pocket holes in the three Braces at the locations shown. Sand the Braces and Shelf smooth, and set them aside for a later step.
