- (24) 2″ wood dowel sliced into 3/4″ thick discs
and stack them up.
Using a jigsaw, cut along the line. After the first board is cut, use it as a template to cut remaining 5 boards.
Now, its time to assemble. Attach all pieces with wood glue and 1 1/4″ finish nails.
Start by attaching the sides pieces of the box.
Then, add the floor of the box.
Pre-drill four holes on either end of the bottom board, and connect the 2 x 4 blocks, using glue and 2″ wood screws.
Next, attach the front board.
The last step of the build is to add the wheels, but I recommend painting both the box and the wheels separately before adding them. Once painted, attached the wheels using wood glue and at least 2 finish nails through the center area of wheel.
That’s it! The shelves are built.
One of the signature designs of these shelves is the oval shaped label on the right side. I created my own label for myself and you guys! Just click on the image, save it, and print it off.
on the back of the label,
place it, and brush on another coat.
To mimic the worn look of the Pottery Barn shelves, I sanded down the edges, distressing it a bit.
