Instructions

More complete description of how to build is in the linked Youtube Video (use chapters to jump to it). 1. Determine which Left/Right brackets you should use based on the size of your cleat face (60mm, 80mm, 3", 2.5"); 2. Potentially make SVG adjustments* if your ply is not 15mm (14.8mm real world thickness). Mortices are sized at 15mm wide and 14.8mm tall. Experiment with offsets to see what works with the thickness of ply material you have. I used a 0.1mm offset for internal mortices to ensure tight fit; 3. Cut the back and shelf; 4. Cut the internal mortices on the bracket and test fit; 5. Cut the brackets; 6. Clean up parts with sandpaper; 7. Push fit all parts together. * I cover the basics of SVG adjustment in the Youtube video. Note bracket dimensions assume your wall cleats are made with 3/4" (18mm) ply
