Directions

  • Cut the Sides

    Using a jigsaw, cut the two sides as shown and drill 3/4" posterior-facing pocket holes.

    Step 1

  • Attach the Back

    Attach the back to the sides with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. You may opt to drill 3/4" pocket holes into the 1x6 and 1x12 back boards and join them together with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws before attaching the sides.

    Step 2

  • Attach the Bottom

    Drill 3/4" pocket holes into the bottom board and attach it to the carcass with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.

    Step 3

  • Attach the Divider

    Drill 3/4" pocket holes into the divider and attach it to the shelf with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.

    Step 4

  • Attach the Top

    Drill 3/4" pocket holes into the top and attach it to the shelf with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.

    Step 5

  • Construct and attach the top

    Drill 3/4" pocket holes into the 1x12 board and attach the 1x2 board with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. Pre-drill and countersink pilot holes into the top and attach it to the shelf with 1-1/4" wood screws.

    Step 6

  • Attach Robe Hooks

    Attach robe hooks as shown. Fill pocket holes with wood filler or pocket hole plugs, sand, and finish as desired. To hang the shelf on the wall, drive 2-1/2" wood screws from the inside the shelf into the wall studs.
