Set all eight pieces of the 1-by-4-by-30-inch lumber on a worktable. Starting from one end, mark the lumber at ¾, 9¾, 10½, 19½, 20¼ and 29¼ inches. Put the framing square on the marks and draw lines across the width of the lumber.

Apply glue to the long edge of four of the pieces of 1-by-4-by-30-inch lumber. Place the other pieces on top of the glue. Be certain the lines connect to each other. Secure the pieces with 4-penny finish nails. Clean up excess glue immediately with a damp cloth. These are the legs of the audio shelf.

Run a bead of glue about 2 inches from the corners of the four pieces of 23 1/2-by-23 1/2-by-3/4-inch plywood. Secure them between the lines drawn on the legs with 4-penny finish nails. Clean up the excess glue immediately with a damp cloth.
