ShelvesUse this method to complete five herringbone shelves in the following dimensions.

Shelf 1: 24"x6" (top shelf)

Shelf 2: 24"x8"

Shelf 3: 24"x10"

Shelf 4: 24" x 12"

Shelf 5: 24: x 15"

Support LegsCut two support legs that are 71 ⅜ inches in length.
The bottom cut for the legs will be made at 5 degrees.
The top cut will be made at 85 degrees.

Wood Inserts for ShelvesYou will drill a 3/4 inch hole into each shelf and insert a wood lock nut. This is the placement for each shelf:

1. Shelf one (top shelf) is 6 inches deep. A ⅜ inch hole will be drilled 4.25 inches back from the front on each side of the shelf in which a wood insert lock nut will be installed.

2. Shelf two is 8 inches deep. A ⅜ inch hole will be drilled 5.25 inches back from the front on each side of the shelf in which a wood insert lock nut will be installed.

3. Shelf three is 10 inches deep. A ⅜ inch hole will be drilled 6.25 inches back from the front on each side of the shelf in which a wood insert lock nut will be installed.

4. Shelf four is 12 inches deep. A ⅜ inch hole will be drilled 7.25 inches back from the front on each side of the shelf in which a wood insert lock nut will be installed.

5. Shelf five (bottom shelf) is 15 inches deep. A ⅜ inch hole will be drilled 9.25 inches back from the front on each side of the shelf in which a wood insert lock nut will be installed.

To Secure the Shelves to the LegsAn anchor bolt hole for each shelf will be centered in each leg at the following locations:
Shelf 1: 62.5 inches
Shelf 2: 49 inches
Shelf 3:36 inches
Shelf 4:20.5 inches
Shelf 5:5.5 inches

Once the shelves are secured to the legs with the ¼ inch bolts a ¼ inch dowel was installed ¾ inch from each side of the bolt. The dowels will prevent the shelves from pivoting on the bolt, possibly spilling the continents of the shelf.
