Supplies needed for the Steampunk Industrial Doll Shelves:

1. CPVC 1/2″ (I purchased the smaller pieces from Lowe’s. I believe I used 6 two-foot pieces. CPVC is almond in color)

2. CPVC cutter. I have a Rigid Cutter. 3. Glue. I used Weldwood Contact Cement. 4. Birch Plywood plaques 1/4x4x12″. I purchased mine from Michaels. You will need 3 plaques per

shelf. These were great to use because they were already cut to size needed. You will need to remove sticker tag and give a slight sanding with a fine grade sandpaper.

5. Primer 6. Paint and stain of choice 7. Pencil 8. Ruler

I didn’t want to spend time with acetone and sanding to remove the black markings from the CPVC so I decided to use a flat white primer before using my gold paint. I used two thin coats of Rust-oleum Painter’s Touch 2x Ultra Cover in Flat White. I used two think coats of Rust-oleum Universal Metallic in Pure Gold. I already had black wood stain so I used that for the wood plaques; Minwax PolyShades in Classic Black Satin.

The CPVC pieces will have small protrusions as pictured below. Try to position those pieces so those protrusions face inside your construction and are less visible.

Use the 10-1/4" piece of CPVC to bridge together the two shelving sides. Lightly sand wood plaques. Don't get frustrated, this next step goes fast...take each section apart and add glue. When using Weldbond glue, attach pieces together immediately after putting glue on one of the ends; do not wait. When reattaching pieces make sure each is pressed in firmly and in exact position. Make sure shelves are level. Glue will make the construction very sturdy.

Next paint shelving to desired colors. I did not permanently attach the wood plaques to the pipes. The plaques are simply resting in place. You could use E6000 glue to permanently adhere in place. My concern with making it permanent was that my daughters may want to repaint the shelves for use in something else at a later time.
