To break down the purebond plywood I used the table saw. Be sure to pay attention to your cut order as you have JUST enough plywood in one sheet to make a single shelf unit. Shelves get cut first, then the vertical supports.

Used the table saw to cut a rabbet into the back of the vertical supports to accept the backer board. This board prevents the books from falling off the back of the shelves but also adds a tremendous amount of support to the shelf itself.

I added iron on edge banding to add that final finishing touch to the wooden piece.

Finished the shelves using a tinted topcoat, this combines the staining and finishing process into one step and saves a TON of time.
