Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: 3/4" x 24" pine project panel, 4 ft, Pocket hole screws, 1-1/4"
Drill 3/4" pocket holes on the top edges of the two leg panels and attach them to the underside of the top with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. Brad nails and glue or straight 2" screws work too, but you'll need to hide those fastener holes on the visible faces.
Tools: Pocket Hole Jig, Tape Measure. Materials: Pine, 1x12, 6 ft
Measure and cut the center divider to fit snugly between the legs, then attach it with pocket holes, or with glue and 1-1/4" brad nails.
Tools: Pencil, Tape Measure. Materials: Pine, 1x12, 6 ft
Position the two smaller dividers as desired — a 2/3 : 1/3 split (about 15" for the smaller opening) reads well, but this is the one place to trust your eye over an exact number.
Tools: Brad Nailer, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: 3/4" x 24" pine project panel, 3 ft, Wood glue
Drill pocket holes in the bottom edge of the shelf panel first if you're using them. Apply glue to the top edges of the 1x12 dividers and the end edges of the shelf, set the shelf panel down on the dividers, and attach it with nails or pocket screws.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: Pine, 1x3, 8 ft
Attach the 1x3 bottom supports along the underside, best done with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws so the fasteners stay hidden on the inside. Brad nails or 2" self-tapping screws are the fallback option.
