Cabinet Shelf Risers
Step-by-step build — 7 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
1Cut Wood
Cut top shelf to 28 inches long and the two legs to 8 inches long, or according to the measurements for your particular cabinet.

2Pocket Holes for Shelf
Using the Kreg jig pocket-hole jig, drill two holes on one of the legs, evenly spaced apart. Holes should follow the grain.

3Pocket Holes for Second Leg
Repeat for both legs.

4Glue Edges
Glue the ends of the legs where the holes are and the ends of one of the faces of the top shelf.

5Screw in Legs
Using Kreg jig screws attach legs to the top plate. Be sure the screw holes are faced towards the center of the shelf.

6Prepare for final finish
Use Kreg Jig plugs and glue to fill in the screw holes then once dry, sand all surfaces flat and smooth.

7Finish Wood
Apply paint or stain based on your preference. We used pickling stain with a polyurethane coat to lighten the color of the pine. If you would like to see more of how we use these cabinet shelf risers to maximize storage in our RV, visit us at tidbits-cami.com.
