Step-by-step build — 4 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Rip the plywood into 8-ft strips 11-1/4" wide — a table saw is strongly preferred for a straight, clean edge; a rip jig works if that's what you have. Crosscut the pieces to length with a miter saw, then iron edge banding onto the front edges so no plywood plies show.
Drill 3/4" pocket holes on both ends of the 1x6 boards and along one long edge, then attach the 1x6s to the plywood sides. These form the hook rail and shelf.
Add the front 1x3 (or 1x4) piece with pocket holes to trim the front and stiffen the assembly.
Install the pieces together — a tippy process, so have a second person help lift the upper shelves into place. Remember the hutch is not structural, so the upper shelves aren't for heavy loads. Fill, sand, paint, add the seven hooks, and mount to wall studs.
