Step Five

Cut the pieces for the shelf boxes. They are all assembled in the same manner using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails – secure the sides to the bottom, then secure the front and back pieces. The front of the shelf boxes will extend past the stretchers by 1″. Secure to the stretchers using glue and 1-1/4″ brad nails.
