The adjustable option just keeps changing
To construct wooden shelf storage, use a simple dado cut for adjustable wood shelves. Dado cuts can be inserted at any desired spacing to provide as many adjustments as you need.
You can also use dado cuts for permanent non-adjustable shelving. For adjustable shelving, the dado cuts must be relatively deep. For permanent shelving, the cuts can be shallow. The dado cut will be visible from the front of the shelf. If this isn’t convenient then make a concealed dado cut for a neater, less conspicuous shelf joint. An adjustable shelf requires a deeper concealed dado cut. The shelf is notched in the front if the dado cut is to be concealed. A pinned joint provides structural strength for long lengths of shelving and the supporting piece can be inserted or removed as required.
Another type is made by making cuts at 90-degree and 45-degree angles. The shelf can then be cut to the same 45-degree angle and fitted into the sawed slots. This type of shelving is not designed to carry extremely heavy loads. The 45-degree cut in the end of the shelf slightly weakens the supporting strength of the shelf.
The third is a modified version of the 90-degree and 45-degree angle cuts for adjustable shelving. Cut the notches continuously to provide a shelf adjustment about every inch. If the shelving notches are carefully cut, they create quite a pleasing effect.
Adjustable shelf storage is a great way of creating a look that can be altered to suit the changing items to be stored.
