How do I install a round corner shelf without showing the hardware used?

Answer 1

You can route a groove in the wood where it contacts the corner walls. You dont need the router to come to the visible edge, just about an inch or so away. (Similar to a blind mortise) Then mount a Cleat fitting the routed groove in the shelf to the wall itself. Use about 1/2 x 1/2 hard maple for this and screw it thru the drywall onto the studs. Now all you need to do is slip the shelf over the cleats with a little glue on them and youre done.

Recognise that each shelf is made from half of an 18-in. hollow-core door. Cut the door blank lengthwise after clamping a straightedge guide to the door. Be sure to use a 40-tooth carbide blade for a smooth cut. Don’t exceed 9 in. wide or you’ll start to weaken the cantilever strength of the shelf.

Cut a cleat to fit inside the doorMeasure the space between the outer veneers of the door and cut cleats from a 2x4 to this thickness. Make the cleats as long as the inside of the door. Use straight, dry lumber for cleats.
Trace the horizontal location for each shelf using a 4-ft. level as your guide. Use a stud finder to mark the locations of the studs and lightly press masking tape over each one.

Bolt the cleats to the studsPredrill 1/4" diameter holes at the stud locations after you cut the cleats to length (the measurement between the end blocks of the door half). Hold the cleat to your line on the wall and drill into the stud with a 1/8-in. bit. Using a wrench, install one lag screw into each stud until it’s tight. Use 1/4-in. x 3-1/2 in. lag screws. Each cleat must be straight.

Make space for the cleatCut away the corrugated cardboard cores at least 1-1/2 in. from the cut edge. Scrape away the glue carefully without gouging the wood surface.
Dry-fit the shelf to make sure the blank fits over the cleat. Check the backside of the shelf and scribe it to the wall if necessary. Use a block plane or sander to remove material from the back edge for a tight fit.

Glue the shelf to the cleatApply a generous amount of glue to the top of the cleat and the inside bottom edge of the door blank. Slide the shelf over the wood cleat.

Fasten the shelfNail the shelf to the cleat using a square as your guide. Start at the middle and work your way to each end. Use 1-in. brad nails spaced 8 in. apart. Nail the bottom also.

The fact that Margarito weighed 160 does not mean he's cheating. Lots of (most) fighters put on weight before a fight because they dry out so much. There is NO rule against putting on weight before a fight and after a weigh-in. And as for the drug allegation. Fighters are always tested for drugs after a fight. If he had used drugs it would have been detected. THat's how Vargas and James Toney were caught.
