- description: Here’s the fastest and easiest way to build a shelf between two walls. Using a level, I mark a line on all three walls at the bottom of the shelf. And yes- a laser would work great for this, but I want to show how you can do basic jobs with simple tools. Next, I measure the depth of the shelves and cut two cleats out of 2x4s- I left room to add a face board later. Then I cut 4 more 2x4s to run between the cleats, making a ladder wall. Three-inch deck screws work great for jobs like this- I put two per stud. It’s important to measure the width of the shelf at the back wall and at the front because it can vary. I screw the frame to the wall making sure to hit studs- that’s not going anywhere. Now let’s cut the plywood- no fancy track saw, no problem. Just clamp down a straight board to use as a guide. After dry fitting the plywood, I could see there was a bulge on the side wall keeping the shelf from sliding all the way back. So, I use my pencil like a scribe, now I can cut the plywood to fit the wall. I apply liquid nails to the frame and set the shelf down- fits like a glove. Next, I load 1 ¾” trim nails into my 15-gauge trim gun to shoot it down. I measure with a tape- making sure to hit the frame. When I cut the face board, I use a 2-degree bevel, this way it’s a little longer in the front than the back and makes it fit super snug (you can see here what a good fit I got). Don’t worry -The nail holes get filled before it’s painted. At this point I was so tired I decided to take a nap. And then, the New Guy actually came out of his office to paint it for me.
