Tools: Bar / Pipe Clamps, Jigsaw, Random Orbit Sander. Materials: 1x10 board, 8 ft
Draw your curve pattern on one 1x10 piece and cut it out carefully with a jigsaw. Use this first piece as a template for the second — trace it, cut, then clamp both together and sand the curved edges as one unit until they match.
Tools: Bar / Pipe Clamps, Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: 1x2 board, 8 ft, Trim screws, 2-5/8", Wood glue
Lay out the end pieces including the curved fronts. Predrill pocket holes if you have a jig, or predrill and countersink and use 2-5/8" trim screws with glue. Build two of these, matched and square to each other — clamps make this stage much easier.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: 1x2 board, 8 ft, Trim screws, 2-5/8", Wood glue
Join the two leg-and-end assemblies together with the top supports, using pocket holes or countersunk trim screws and glue.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: 1x10 board, 8 ft, Self-tapping wood screws, 1-1/4" (or pocket-hole screws), Wood glue
Attach the top to the sides by screwing up through the top supports into the underside of the top with 1-1/4" screws and glue.
Tools: Drill / Driver.
Measure your actual 1x12 width and adjust the shelf side pieces' bottom edge to match — the shelf bottom needs to meet the sides with no gap. Cut the shelf ends from 1x10 stock; if your boards run slightly under 9-1/2" wide it won't matter, since the back is also 1x10. Attach with screws and glue.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: 1x12 board, 8 ft, Self-tapping wood screws, 1-1/4" (or pocket-hole screws), Wood glue
Attach the shelf bottoms to the shelf sides and back with screws and glue, keeping outside edges flush.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Level, Random Orbit Sander. Materials: Self-tapping wood screws, 1-1/4" (or pocket-hole screws), Wood glue, Wood filler and finishing supplies
Position the assembled shelves inside the frame — the fronts rest on the front supports. Use a level to check the sides sit level, then attach with 1-1/4" screws and glue.
Fill exposed holes with wood filler, sand at 120 grit, remove dust with a vacuum and damp cloth, then apply primer or wood conditioner as appropriate followed by your finish coat.
