C&R Storage Rack

[mrandig]

With the sides taken care of for now, we'll start with the top shelf.

If you're taking notes, this board is 36" x 5-1/2" x 13/16". A little bit of math may follow over the next few posts. I'll try to explain my figuring the best I can and accept any questions after I post this.

I'm going to space 8 holes 4" apart (center-to-center), spaced 1-1/2" inches from the leading edge. I'm going to cut these holes out on the drill press with a 2" forstner bit.

The drill press is my Jet, and I'm pretty fond of it. We've been through a lot together. The table on the press is a homebuilt job, so that's not available in stores. The forstner bits I'm using are Ryobi from HD stores - don't buy these; they're pretty terrible.
