What happens here

With the first ledger board and vertical supports in place, continue building the shelf frame by adding more horizontal ledger boards and connecting them to the vertical supports. The presenter explains that two more shelves will be added going up. He uses the pre-cut spacer blocks to maintain consistent height between each shelf level. Each ledger board is attached to both the back wall and the side wall, as well as being supported by the corner vertical stud. This creates a strong, interlocking frame.

Goal: Build out the full skeleton of the shelving unit by adding remaining ledgers.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — Attaching additional ledger boards
  • Level Pittsburgh — Verifying the horizontality of each new ledger board
  • Measuring Tape — Ensuring correct placement of boards
  • Wood Planks — Building additional horizontal ledger boards
  • Wood Screws — Fastening all frame components together

What they say

Hide

shelves going up, then we put our plywood on. Next step is is to run a board from here to here on all of them, and then to run a board from here to here on all of them, and then we'll put our half-inch plywood down, and the shelf will be done. All right, I got the bottom two shelves tied into this corner here. I'm going to finish the last two, and then we're going to sheet it with plywood. All right, this is not going anywhere. I'm going to go ahead and drop my plywood on top of here, and then uh we'll start stacking stuff on it.
