Once all of your dadoes are plowed, drill pocket holes between them on the opposite face of each case side. These will hold the frame to the case much better than glue alone. To find the width of your shelves, you will subtract 2 5/ 8” from your frame width. 1 7/ 8” for both outside reveals and another 3/ 4” for the material thickness of the sides left over after your dadoes. Cut all of your shelves to the same length and inspect them for any discrepancies. Next, place glue in each dado, insert the shelves and shoot 1 3/ 8” staples into them from the outside. I do this even on stain grade shelves as this portion is hidden until the door is opened.
