He had to measure and mark the section of the board which would be cut to allow the shelves to be flush with the wall. Measure twice cut once.

The next step was to carefully cut the shelves using a table saw.

Once the edges of the shelves were cut, he created holes in the wood for where the steel rods wood be placed.

Now for the fun part: staining and finishing the shelves. Clearly, they turned out pretty incredibly.

These are the six steel rods which would be used to hold the shelves in place. They had to be pretty sturdy; not only would they carry the wooden shelves, they’d also hold whatever would be stored on top.
