DIY plywood shelves using plywood. In this video tutorial, I will show you how to build simple plywood shelf using a kreg jig for pocket hole joinery. This is such a fast easy project for making your own shelves. The skill level required to make these shelves would be for a beginner. This is a great beginner woodworker project. I am using 3/4" sanded birch plywood to build these shelves. Using 3/4" plywood makes a strong shelf that will last a long time. Pocket hole joinery with the Kreg K5 makes a strong joint as well. Give this project a try and let me know what you think!
Tools and supplies used in this build:
Kreg K5 Pocket Hole Jig: amzn.to/2sv9VCr
Kreg Rip Cut: amzn.to/2VYbKW7
Kreg 1 1/4" screws: amzn.to/2VXohsU

Man, I enjoy watching all your vids, they’ve helped me in so many ways. I saw a pic of your Cross bench and plan on duplicating it to donate to the church that lost 5 children in that horrible accident here recently. That’s my hometown and our community is devastated by it. I plan on building 5, 1 for each child with their names on it to create a memorial for them.

@731Woodworks 5 лет назад

I appreciate the compliment. That would be an amazing thing to do. I'll pray for those families.

I was going to go with some expensive display cases but after watching this I’ve changed my mind and will make my own,I’ve decided to be a maker instead of a taker and this design is what I’ve been looking for,I can also totally customize it to how I want it to look,thanks for the video.

A tip I use for brad nailing is the brads usually shoot out to the left or right. If you position the nail gun sideways they most likely go into the wood and not shoot out the sides. Hope that makes sense.

You can cut long pieces like that with the sable saw easy you make half the cut and flip the plywood over and make the rest of your cut. The second cut you make will meet the first cut in the middle.

@striperseeker 9 месяцев назад

I appreciate the video. But I would like some help figuring out the depth of the pocket holes and the length of the screws when doing this type of joint. You skipped over that completely. Do I set the stop collar to 3/4" on the bit and use a 1 1/4" screw since that's less than 1.5"? I've seen where the pocket is much hight up the board and using a longer screw. I get confused with this. I want to attach a 3/4" top to a 1x3 apron. Do I always use the smallest thickness for both the stop collar and the depth adjustment gauge on the jig?

@markwong6548 2 года назад

I have a question (no expert by any stretch of imagination) but would doing pocket holes like this with the screws angling upwards be a weaker option than having the pockets on the top with the screws angling down? After all the loading on the shelf would be on the top surface and having the screws pointed down should in theory reinforce the joint. Or am I over thinking it?

@barryroberts6470 5 лет назад

Great build and love that Plywood. One thing with the pocket hole plugs, why snip them short? wouldn't it be easier just to glue em in, then using a Flush Cut Saw cut them flush to the build, then sand smooth? Once again a great video, cheers. Barry (ENG)

Really solid video - I subscribed and look forward to watching more in the future. I am making an exterior bat rack for my son’s HS baseball team (w/ 3/4” MDO) and wanted to see how far apart you spaced your pocket screws on the shelves (mine are only 12” wide, so I went with three after watching). I also am using some white oak as banding for the frame, and I was curious what sizes brads/nails you used to attach them to the plywood. Thanks in advance.

@731Woodworks 4 года назад

If this is not going to be painted then you may want to track the grain direction of the veneer in the future. Its a great piece but my eyes immediately go the shelf with different grain direction.

Yes, it was painted.

@hepburn118 5 лет назад

Very nice shelves, I see what you mean about the ply. It was a shame to cut it up. I have a question about when you screwed in the pocket hole screws in the shelf. I saw you clamp the the outside screws to hold the shelf and then just screwed the inner two without anything. I did the exact same thing joining two pieces of melamine and when i screwed in the inner screws the board moved and slightly bowed the board. Can you tell me what you do to combat this please?

@731Woodworks 5 лет назад

It wasn't shown on video, but I did clamp each piece before screwing them in place.

What’s that song in the beginning? Is that from RU-vid studio? Great editing on this one with the music and the moving camera! I’m surprised you didn’t put a back on it for extra support and I have to admit it was kinda funny when you said “not a lot of weight just pots and pans”. Pots and pans are really heavy. Lol!

@731Woodworks 5 лет назад

Thanks. The song is called Kermode by Tigerblood Jewel from epidemicsound.com. Yeah I thought about putting a 1/4” plywood back on it. But after it was together with the trim pieces on the front, I felt it was sturdy enough. The customer is going to attach it to a wall on the top to prevent tipping.

@sanjeevmraman 4 года назад

Hi- this is a great video. I have a question: how do you prevent the butt joints from rocking back and forth? I didn’t notice you gluing the joints. I have this problem with a table that I’m building (3/4” plywood top and legs made from a single 5 x 5 sheet of Baltic birch plywood). Thanks!

@731Woodworks 4 года назад

@RyanONeill86 3 года назад

Curious as to why you chose to do the pocket holes on the top side of the very top shelf that is most visible? The bottom two shelves are underneath like you would assume. I've also seen guys pole saw off the pocket hole fillers for a more precise fit/finish. Quality build though! Also, I'm going to look into that rip fence. I've ordered two off amazon that won't fit my ryobi corded circular saw now and I'm thinking this may be just what I need. Love that it extends to 24" as well.

@731Woodworks 3 года назад

This was going on top of an existing cabinet, so it would sit up high you wouldn't see the top pocket holes.

@TranTheClever 4 года назад

If you are going to cut and plane your wood. Buy rough cut wood and save a bomb, it's a couple dollar in a saw mill. Ps badass video. O and if you made the shelves 3 ft 3 instead of the randomly selected 3 foot, to allow for the rope to be set in a little from the edges of the shelves. You would have had two studs to fix to as they are spaced 18 inches apart 😘 3:44

@grvitaly 5 лет назад

You struggle with your microphone. It will, at some point destroy your camera or cause an accident. In order to save money, I would suggest plugging it into your phone. Yes, just record your sound separately into an Android or iPhone sound recording application and then synchronize video from camera and sound from the phone in post production. This way, you don't have to drag a long cable with you and leave it hanging. You can even leave the camera and go walking for miles and the sound will keep recording without any problems.

@731Woodworks 5 лет назад

Thank you, I have since bought a camera mounted mic and it is much more convenient. The sound just isn't quite as good.

@grvitaly 5 лет назад

Yes, it is an option as well. But once you go into professional equipment and cameras with pro XLR 3 pin connectors and VHF radio microphones, it becomes very expensive. Recording whatever mic you already had separately on your phone would be so much cheaper and the sound quality will be very, very good. I mean, nobody really knows how your voice sounds like in real life, so even if in all the recordings it's a bit lower or higher, nobody will notice as long as it is clear and free of crackling, rustling and wind sounds, which is easy to filter.

@731Woodworks 5 лет назад

Good info. Thank you.
