Adding the Shelf

A shelf is an opportunity to use up scraps. Since I had just enough 1 X 3 left, I decided to join five pieces (and one piece of 1 X 2) to make my shelf for the cabinet side.


Since I don't have a biscuit joiner, I used my trusty pocket hole jig to join the pieces (and some glue, of course). I mounted the shelf with some simple shelf pins I took from a shelf we weren't using. Easy.
