Steps:
1. Measure the area and draw a plan for the shoe rack. Lay out all the pieces you'll need to cut with a cutting diagram on graph paper.
2. Transfer the cuts to your particle board and cup pieces with a circular saw. Start with the angled cuts.
3. Now drill holes in side pieces for the adjustable shelving. Clamp the shelf side and a positioning jig together. Drill out the holes for the shelf pins.
4. Begin assembling the shoe rack. Start by putting wood glue on the edges of the first two outside casing boards. Using corner clamps secure the boards to your worktable and drill pilot holes before nailing the boards together.
5. Repeat the process connecting all of the outside casing boards.
6. Attach the center divide board.
7. Install shelf pins, shelves and shoes.
