Fixin' Up the Bungalow

Bungalow Kitchen Cabinets 26: Organizing the Disaster (Shelves)

So the doors were on, but what a fright inside.

I made the shelves out of vertical grain fir plywood ….

with edge glued lips of solid fir.

I read once that leaving the fronts thicker adds strength to the shelf.

My new Rockler pin jig in action

Antique brass shelf pins….

Shelves installed. The top is only 12” wide. Finish: Shellac and poly.

So much better. Wife is happy.

Next time… The upper cabinet door repairs.
