We recently bought a home that had these 12-foot high built-in shelves in one room: [ATTACH]52950[/ATTACH] Then, as we were preparing to close, the original owner announced he was removing them and taking them with him. My wife loves the look of these shelves, and I appreciate how they match the pass-through bar — note how the shelf supports have virtually the same shape as the corbels in the pass-through bar. So I'm looking into trying to recreate these. But I was hoping that the shelf supports were some stock item I could buy. I've tried searching for corbels, but haven't found any that widen again at the bottom to connect to another shelf below, like these do. So my questions are: 1. Is "corbel" the right term for this sort of shelf support, or is it called something else when it goes between the shelves like these do? 2. If I can't buy them, what's the best tool for cutting them myself? (The ones in the pass-through bar are 5.5" thick.) 3. How would you mount all this to the wall — pocket screws, or something else? Thanks, - Joe

Hello everyone, I'm currently in the middle of building a built-in shelving unit on my main floor. Everything is going well, with the exception of the shelf pins. After drilling the pin holes (with a store-bought jig) and assembling everything, I now realize that the holes don't line up! When I rest a shelf on the pins, it is slightly slanted. My question is -- is there anything I can do to somehow modify the shelf pins to make them line up? It may seem silly, but I've thought about putting a thin strip of tape around the pins to make certain ones thicker, or perhaps putting a dab of hot glue on one of the pins to make them thicker? Re-drilling the holes is probably not an option. Switching to fixed shelves is an option, but I'd like to consider that a last resort. Is there anything else I can do??
