Bathroom Shelves Plans

This step by step diy woodworking project is about bathroom shelves plans. If you want to learn how to build bathroom shelves, we recommend you to pay attention to the instructions and diagrams described in the article. In addition, don’t forget to take a look over the rest of the woodworking articles, as there are many things that you could build in several hours to improve your home.

Before starting the actual construction project, we recommend you to plan everything, as to save money and to keep the costs under control. Adjust the size and the design of the bath shelves to suit your needs. In addition, we recommend you to invest in high-quality materials, such as pine, redwood or cedar, as they have a nice finish and are highly durable, especially in a humid environment.

If you don’t have a rich expertise in woodworking field, you should ask a friend to give you a hand with the project. There are many things that you could go wrong, so make sure you plan everything and invest in quality materials. Select the lumber with attention, making sure the components are perfectly straight and in a very good condition. Use a carpentry square to check if the corners are right-angled.

Building bathroom shelves

Building the sides of the shelves

The first step of the woodworking project is to build the sides of the bathroom shelves. As you can easily notice in the plans, we recommend you to cut the components at the right size and to lock them together with screws and waterproof glue. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the supports and insert the screws into the legs with galvanized screws.

Fitting the side supports

After building the two sides of the bath shelves, we recommend you to lock them together with 1×3 supports, as shown in the image. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the supports and lock them to the legs with galvanized screws. Check if the supports are perfectly horizontal by using a spirit level.

Attaching the shelves

One of the last steps of the project is to attach the 1×12 shelves to the supports. Make sure you cut out the corners of the shelves as shown in the plans, before fitting them into place. Drill pocket holes through the supports and insert 1 1/4″ screws into the shelves.

Last but not least, we recommend you to take care of the finishing touches. Fill the holes with wood filler and let it to dry out for several hours. Afterwards, smooth the wooden surface with fine-grit sandpaper and vacuum the residues.
