Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Attach bottom to top on back side, using glue and 1-1/4" pocket hole screw.
Step 2
Clamp bracket to workbench securely. Mark placement of cross support (important). I glued my cross supports and let dry, then when dry, nailed through back into cross support. Nail closer to the inside edge of the cross support to ensure your nail hits the thickest part of your cross support.
Attach shelving to brackets with glue and screws or nails/staples. Paint or stain your project now.
Brackets need to be secured to studs in the wall. Predrill holes in brackets to attach to wall. It was a little tricky attaching behind the cross support piece, but we ended up getting a screw in there.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
