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.


I was thinking of this. 2" _is_ 5cm, and I was thinking letting the upper and lower 20 cm be free, which gives me 50cm to drill = 11 series of holes (44 holes)
Then again I agree that once in place I will probably never really move the shelves...


I am not a master carpenter but I have built custom bathroom cabinets in
my home.
Now that the cabinet is built, how are you going to drill accurate holes
for shelf pegs inside the cabinet?
I'd really like to know for future reference.


Bill if you have a router and a 1/4" bit it can be done but it is
easier to drill them before assembly.
