    The Adjustable Plant

    Shelf
    Slip-in pegs allow instantaneous adjustment of the main
    plant shelf height.

    Here’s an Adjustable Plant Shelf featuring a design that makes it


    universal enough to work with
    virtually any home decor — and simple enough to build that
    you’ll have plenty of opportunities for some nice profits when
    you sell them at craft shows, festivals and flea markets.

    We suggest that you offer different priced models made of


    different woods (water resistant woods like Western red cedar,
    cypress, teak or redwood are best)...and with either three, four
    or five shelves for each unit. You can even offer additional
    shelves (with pegs), individually as “accessories”. Plus, if our
    dimensions don’t suit your fancy, feel free to change them. With a project like this, it’s really easy.

    Each shelf is a simple frame with cross-lapped notches that accept notched, drop-in slats that will
    form the shelf bottoms while allowing light to pass through to the plants below. The frame corners
    have 1/2" diameter peg (E) holes that mate-up with matching hole patterns in the four vertical stiles
    (D).

    You’ll find that the easiest tool to use when making these cross-laps is the Dado Blade. Set every-
    thing to make 3/4" wide dadoes, 1” deep. Use your Rip Fence with a piece of wood attached to its
    face to serve as a stop when cutting these laps equidistant from both ends of your shelf slats (C) and
    frame sides (A&B).

    Assemble the frames with waterproof glue and woodscrews (brass or stainless steel screws are best),
    since they won’t rust. Don’t glue in the center slats on each shelf...only the two slats on each shelf
    end that attach to the vertical stiles.

    Cut the four vertical stiles (D) from 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” stock that’s at least 6” long. Using your Drill
    Press, bore the 1/2" peg holes every 8” along their lengths. The top and bottom holes should be 4” in
    from either end.

    Finally, turn the pegs you’ll be needing for each shelf, then place and assemble each shelf to the
    vertical stiles.

    Suggested retail price: $25 and up, depending on number of shelves included and wood species used.
