Looking for any tips/tricks for making consistent shelf pin holes down
a post. *I have seen Nahmie use a jig before that he uses to line up
the holes with a shelf pin as he moves down the post.


Got a favorite method?


Also, 1/4" dowels should do the trick in each corner right? *This case
is going to be loaded down pretty good I hear.


Thanks as always,

* At the risk of sounding like a philistine and cheap, I've always used a
piece of pegboard (1/4" holes) cut to fit in the case. * Registered to the
bottom with a square cut to ensure that the holes are parallel to the case
and using a drill bit with either a stop collar or a piece of tape for depth
control.

* Simple, fast, cheap if you aren't doing lots of shelves


Are you a tight-a**ed Irishman too?

Related to one?

Scottish too, but we won't claim them right away.
