Hi all

I am about to finish this: http://hot.ee/sonnich/Photo1659.jpg

NIce work.


Now, the cupboards on the sides do not yet have shelfes in them.
Basically I have 3 options, and I am not sure which to pick. I
tried to keep it in an old style, my hinges are the type where
the door can be lifted off.

1. I could use those plastic corners, but plastic is not the
style to use here

2. I could use those round (Ø5mm) carriers, which would make it
possible to set the shelfes as I need.

This would be my choice - or shelf standards, routed in so they lay
flush. I have used them a lot for shelves and I personally like
them. It's just a preference thing - I don't realy care as much
for the look of all of the holes when you just use the pegs - but
like I say, it's just a preference thing.

Here's a different thought though... I have found that after
allowing for all of this flexibility in shelf locations... I can
probably count on one hand the number of times I've changed them
once they were put in place the first time. Maybe all of that
flexibility isn't as worthwhile in the end.



Routing a slot is quick and easy.

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.

I agree, and I'm no expert woodworker. Of all the jigs and other things
I had to make when I made my kitchen (or other shelves), drilling the
peg holes wasn't any trouble or any time. The bigger question was size,
and nickel or brass.

If you don't like all the holes, just drill the ones you like.

But like you said, it's a preference...

That's exactly what it is, but don't pretend drilling the holes is
difficult.
