How To Make Detail Cuts

So once you have your six main pieces of plywood, you are almost ready to put them together. But first, you must make some detail cuts on the front piece, the 72" by 30".

This is the actual bookshelf part, the cubbies where the books will be stored. The first cut falls 4" inches below the top of the shelf. Cut a 26" by 22" rectangle.

The second cut falls 2" above the bottom of the shelf. Cut a circle out with a diameter of 26". The circle is 2" from each side of the shelf.

You have now completed the detail cuts of the bookshelf, and once you put all the large pieces of plywood together, we will explain how to make/insert the actual shelves in these detail cuts.
