This is my first instructable bare with me. I created a 2 level shoe shelf because I ran out of room in my closet for all my shoes. This project is unfishied because I did not get to stain the shelf due to time shortage.

Making the Schematic

I made this schematic with the help of my teacher. We made a 2 level shelf. This shelf was simply enough that it was very was to do but it should also look really good in the end.

Gathering the Materials

For this step I had already cut the 3x12's for the back supports thag hold it onto the wall. I also gathered a few tools a 1x12 that I cut the 3x12's out of

Start Cutting

This step I cut 2 6"x6" pieces for the supports that hold up the top shelf. I tape them together and then took them to the bandsaw.

Cutting Out the 2 Shelfs

I do not have pictures of this step because I am new but for this step I took 1'x12' and cut my two top and bottom shelves out. They are 1'x3' shelves pieces.

Using the Router

This is the best picture I have. I used a router table to create an edge in both the shelf and the support peices that hold up the shelf.

Assembly

For this step I gathered all my pieces and started building the shelf. For all the screw spots I counter sunk all my holes to not only make it look better but so it would fit snugly on my wall. I also used a nail gun to nail the top supports to the back pieces.

Final Product

This is not my final product. I want to stain it red but I have limited time so this is where I got. I luckily was able to completely finish the assembly in time to enter the contest despite it not being stained.
