Measure and mark 36 equally-spaced points on the plywood sheet. Then, using a 8mm drill bit, drill holes through the wood at each point. Smooth rough edges with sandpaper. Mask off the board diagonally with tape and apply paint to one half. To make the pegs, cut the dowel rod into 10cm pieces with a saw and sand any rough edges. Bang the pegs into the holes on the board with a hammer. For the shelves, first rest a rectangular plywood piece on top of two adjacent pegs. Mark the position of the pegs on the plywood and then, using a rotary tool with a round carving bit, make two adjacent grooves across the plywood. Stick it on top of the pegs with wood glue and leave to dry.
