Project Information
I am currently working on a Christmas present for my mother…its not like I waited to the last minute on purpose. It took a while to gather the required materials to build this thing….lol Anyhow when I designed the project, I decided that adjustable shelves would be a nice touch. Instead of buying the track, I chose 1/4" shelf pins and ordered a shelf pin jig to install them. I checked the order status and it was showing it would arrive next week. Yesterday the build had reached a point where the shelves really needed to go in if I was to stay on schedule with this thing. I decided to just make a throw away jig to drill the holes. Its a 3/4" inch strip of plywood cut to the same width as the rails with the holes one inch centers. It divided up roughly on 11 1/2 inch centers for the shelves so I used this as a baseline and marked it out on the rails. I then made a mark accross the center of my jig and used it to line up with. It worked well but the plywood was begining to wallow a bit by the time I was finished. The Murphys Law part came into play today….you guessed it, the one I ordered showed up. Well if I ever do another project requiring shelf pins, I will have it I guess…lol
