movable shelves tip - Woodworking Talk

Hawki39 · 10-22-2007, 10:35 PM

I am making a pantry cabinet for my wife. I needed to drill the holes in the cabinet sides for the movable shelves. I didn't have a piece of peg board to use as a guide and Home Depot didn't carry a temp plate to drill the holes.
I had a brain storm while holding a wooded yard stick in my hand

.

I decided to drill 1/4" holes every 3"s along the yard stick, I then taped it onto the cabinet sides with double back tape and drilled the holes . It worked like a charm.
