Instructions
More complete description of how to build is in the linked Youtube Video (use chapters to jump to it). 1. Determine which 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. Make up blocks for router trays (see dimensions photo); 4. Cut brackets; 5. Cut shelf; 6. Helix cut back for magnets; 7. Cut back; 8. Magnet/router bit helix cut blocks using workstation (top elevation files are a mix of 1/2", 1/4", 8mm and 10mm shank); 9 Sand all parts; 10. Glue fit magnets; 11. Push fit assemble brackets/back/shelf. * 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
