Nail, screw, or pocket-hole the two shelf side pieces to the shelf board — whichever method matches the tools you already have on hand.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Plywood, 3/4", 18" x 20", Wood glue
From the back, attach the assembled shelf to the plywood back panel with glue and nails or screws, keeping all outside edges flush.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Drill Bit Set. Materials: Closet rod dowel, 1-1/4", 8 in, Wood screws, 2"
Predrill the dowel screw holes all the way through the plywood from the front, at the positions where you want the dowels. Flip the panel over, insert screws from the back, line up the dowels centered on the screw tips, and attach — the front holes give you an exact guide for driving each screw straight and centered into its dowel.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Flat metal strip, 18 in, or pine 1x2
Attach the metal strip or 1x2 bar across the front near the top to hold the iron.
