Default Shelf carriers (metal, plastic or wooden?)

Drilling eleven-zillion holes isn't.


Sure it is. Easier than routing a slot. Use a shelf pin drilling jig
and you're done before you've set up the router.


Plus which, holes are not needed in every possible location. Just enough
to allow a shelf to move a few inches up and down from its "normal"
position. Five or 6 hole on 2" spacing for shelves spaced at 12"
intervals should b enough.

Don't get me wrong - that's still a *lot* of holes. But Mike is right, a
jig makes it a lot easier.
