Overall cost: $$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.
Make all the cuts per the cut list and pocket holes. Redwood is typically 1 3/8" x 1 3/8". Be sure to use that setting on the Kreg Jig and the drill bit. Pocket holes are made on both ends of all the 20" long aprons, 12 3/8" short aprons and on one side of the 29 1/2" and 33 1/2" long sides. 2 Pocket holes per board.
Make frames using the 55" and 43" long sides. The 20" long aprons are placed at 6" and 17 1/2" from the bottom but these can be adjusted based on requirements for the shelf spacing. Make sure the pocket holes are facing inside (towards to the bottom)
Make frames using the 33 1/2" and 29 1/2" long sides. Again make sure the pocket holes are facing inside.
Attach both shelves to the 55" long frame using pocket hole screws in the short aprons and wood glue. Make sure they are aligned with the 20" long aprons attached in step 2.
Attach the 43" outer frame to the two shelves using pocket holes in the short aprons.
Attach the 33 1/2" and 29 1/2" frames to the shelves using pocket hole screws in the sides. The distance from each outer frame is 3".
