Open shelving for your kitchen // How-To | I Like To Make Stuff

A friend wanted some open shelving in her kitchen, so I bought some cheap stair treads and turned them into simple, cheap shelves! CHECK OUT EBATES! http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referreri...

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED: Pine stair treads http://amzn.to/1R7HUoy - Wood glue http://amzn.to/1R7HPRD - Table Saw http://amzn.to/1R7HQVK - Miter Saw http://amzn.to/1jt6ftY - Drill/driver http://amzn.to/1R7HVsz - Level http://amzn.to/1G9Zurk - Bandsaw http://amzn.to/1VOOCGG - Jigsaw http://amzn.to/1VOOEyg - Wall anchors http://amzn.to/1jt6IMN - Rubber mallet http://amzn.to/1VOOIOx - 7" Speed square To get a thickness of 1", I used pine stair treads, but trimmed off the rounded edge. I cut them to length, using the off cuts for the brackets. I drew out a 9" square and a notch for the ledger. From the opposite corner, I used a compass to draw an arch. I cut the brace out on the bandsaw, but a jigsaw would work as well. I cut out the area for the ledger, 3/4" x 2". I used the first brace as a template to trace the others. Then I made a LOT more of them. I used the edge of the belt sander to smooth out my bandsaw cuts. Also, I flattened out the ends of the brace. For the corner shelves, I lined up two panels and made three marks across the joint. Using a biscuit joiner, I cut a biscuit slot on both pieces, at each one of the marks. Both surfaces and all six slots got plenty of glue, and one panel got three biscuits. I clamped the panels together from top and bottom to stock flexing and bowing. After the joints were dry, I sanded the glue squeeze out and all edges. I set the brackets in place, on the TOP side of the shelves, squared them to the edge and traced them. This area is so I know the safe area to drill holes down from the top. I drilled two holes for each brace. The holes were countersunk to allow the screw heads to be flush to the top. I added glue to each brace and held it perpendicular to the shelf. I connected the braces with screws, from the top side. The corner shelves worked the same way, but took a lot longer. All of the holes, and voids were filled with wood filler. Then all of the filler was sanded away and the shelves sanded smooth.   I cut some scrap 3/4" pine into strips, to act as the ledgers. The strips were all chopped to length on the miter saw. Everything was primed and painted with white enamel paint. I marked in 1" (the thickness of the braces) from each end of the ledgers. I predrilled a hole in each one. This hole will be covered by the brace. Every brace has a hole behind it, and the straight shelves have a center hole as well. I held the ledgers in place, leveled them and drilled through the holes to transfer the locations to the wall. I opened up each hole with a larger drill bit, to fit the anchors I'd purchased. The anchors were knocked into the holes. Each of these anchors can support 75lb. Get the correct anchors for your application. I drove screws, through the ledger, into the anchors, and it was really solid. I did the same for the other two ledgers, making sure everything stayed level throughout. The shelves fit tightly onto the ledgers. I used a rubber mallet to knock them into place. I countersunk a hole, through the shelves, into their ledger, followed by a long screw. I predrilled, countersunk and screwed the bottom edge of each brace to the wall for stability. Finally, there was a LOT of hole filling, patching, and touch up painting to do. Since the walls are wavy (old house) I filled gaps with caulking. They turned out really well, and best of all, my friend really likes them!
