How to make a display case with shelves?

Position one side piece on its flat larger side and mark 7 inches from the board top. Mark the entire board surface at 7-inch intervals and repeat the process for the other board. You will nail the board shelves at these points. Line up the first shelf piece with the first mark, applying glue over it. Repeat this process for all marks and let the glue dry. Nail the glued pieces to the side board. Position the display case so that the shelves point straight up. Turn to the other side board and line the shelf pieces with the marks. Secure nails though the side pieces into all shelf pieces.

Do you need to sand wood to make a finished look?

You need to sand the edges of the top, bottom and side pieces in order to create a finished look. You may paint or stain the wood if you want to add a more personalized touch.

Step 1: Tools and Materials

As you can see the tools and materials required are fairly simple. I used a table-mounted power miter saw to fashion my jig but the handheld one would have worked as well. As I was going to be working on a verticle surface I made a more complicated jig than I might have otherwise made.#N#The tees will form the pegs that hold the balls in place.

Step 2: Test Your Materials

I was going to be doing a lot of drilling and hammering in an exposed area so I wanted to be sure this plan was going to work out before I started on the actual bookshelf.

Step 3: Fashioning the Jig

The first thing to make is the jig. The function of the jig is to give you a template for placing your holes so that they are evenly spaced and provide a guide for your drill.

Step 4: Drilling the Holes

I was using narrow scrap for this as it was the only hardwood on hand but if I had a wider piece I would have aligned the holes so that the bottom of the jig and the top row of holes were equidistant from the bottom row of holes so that I could use the jig itself to space out multiple rows.

Step 5: Mounting the Tees

Now that the holes were in place the last thing to do was to mount the tees in them.#N#A standard size tee has quite a long shaft, even the shortest ones, so you will probably want to cut them down a bit. It's aesthetically more pleasing to have the balls fit tightly to the surface on which they are mounted.

Step 6: Putting Up the Golf Balls!

Everything is in place now, all that remains is to mount your golf balls.
