These two Number 1 shelves (or maybe it's one Number Eleven shelf!) were built for Christmas gifts. I left the backs off so the wall color shows from behind.
I used a 1x8 10' for each shelf, and adjusted my measurements as instructed. Also, the plans had to be adjusted slightly to make the project fit together properly. I'll put the changes I made in the comment section to help others. This was an extremely simple build and went together quickly. They were great gifts! Thank you for the plans.
