Glue biscuits and clamp side frames
Apply glue in the biscuit cut in the frame and
end piece. Some squeeze-out is ok but avoid using too much
glue. Using pipe or adjustable clamps, clamp the frame together and
wipe the excess glue with a damp sponge. Tighten the clamp until the
pieces are firmly clamped together but not bending.
The shelf is made of 1" x 10". In order
to allow the shelf to swivel, we use a dowel on each side. We have
used a wooden dowel (5/16") cut to 1- 1/4" long and the ends slightly
sanded. Drill a slightly large hole in two ends of the
shelf.
For a more secure shelf, use a 1/4" metal rod for the hinge
pin. This will require smaller diameter holes and allow for
more weight to be carried by the shelves.
