![]() ![]() I lined up the left side against the edge of the sheet and checked that it was straight and square. Once the entire DIY vinyl record shelf section was together, I placed the remaining plywood sheet on my workbench and laid the shelf assembly on top. I glued the dowels into the holes and came back later to trim them all down. I clamped it in place and lined the next shelf up with it.Īnd when I got to the end (the top of the shelf), I had to attach this short piece, so I couldn’t use it as a spacer. I used the second short shelf as a “spacer block” to space the rest of the shelves on this project 12 ¾” apart. I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I used a speed square to make sure the pieces stayed square while assembling. So notice that this bottom shelf piece is 27″ long and the rest are 26 ¼”. Since it has this additional piece on the right end that the other shelves don’t have, this piece needed to be ¾” longer to keep all the shelf openings the same. ![]() The bottom shelf has a short shelf piece on the right edge and a long shelf piece at the middle. Of course, if you prefer, you could leave the screw heads exposed or use wood putty instead. Once the screws were in, I could go back and glue in some ⅜″ wood dowels to plug the holes. I didn’t want the screw heads to show on the finished project, so for each screw, I predrilled a pilot hole for the screw, then used a ⅜″ forstener but to countersink each hole about ¼″ deep. ![]() There were a few ways I could assemble these shelves, but I decided the easiest and quickest way was to use wood glue with 2″ wood screws. RELATED: How to apply iron on edge banding Step 2: Assemble Vinyl Record Shelf Pieces I applied iron on edge banding along these edges, then sanded everything smooth. I visualized the final project and tried to mark out which shelf edges will be exposed so I could edge band over them. ![]() I first cut down my plywood sheet to get all my shelf pieces (see diagram above).
