Mark for Flanges

Using a speed square and a pencil, mark one inch in from each corner. Then, pencil in a line vertically at one inch and horizontally at one inch. Lay the flange over the line, making sure the holes are aligned with the lines you've made. Repeat on all four corners. On the center shelves, mark your flange positions on the top and bottom of the wood. For the top and bottom shelves, you only need to mark flange positions on one side.
