Adding Glide-Out Shelves

1. ROUT GROOVES 3/8 in. deep into the 1X4 poplar perimeter pieces for the 1/2-in. plywood bottom.

2.USE THE ROUTER AGAIN to cut 3/8-in.-deep X 3/4-in.-wide rabbets across the ends of the front and back to accept the shelf sides.

3.APPLY GLUE to the rabbet joint and fasten the shelf front to the sides with three 1 1/2-in. finishing nails.

4.SLIDE THE 1/2-in. birch- plywood bottom into the grooves, then glue and nail on the poplar back to complete the shelf.

5.USE A 2-FT. level to make sure the shelf standards are perfectly vertical before screwing them to the cabinet.

6. ATTACH the drawer slides to the cabinet by snapping the metal clips into the slots in the standards.

7. SCREW THE SLIDING rail section of the drawer slide to the side of the shelf 1/2 in. up from the bottom edge.
