Next you need to prepare the boards for gluing. It is necessary to choose the boards so that the direction of the fibers is in one direction. If the boards are different in height, then you need to trim them. Then, for the strength of the connection, the master cuts grooves for the dowels.

Step six: assembly
Then the master starts assembling the shelf. First, screws the racks to the lowest base board. This is a temporary basis and is only needed at the time of assembly.
Then, gradually screwing the knots and installing wooden shelves, assembles the cabinet. When assembling the shelf, you need to use a level and twist the tubes along the level.
