Judging from continuing traffic, lots of folks have viewed my method for fabricated the
wedges for Hungarian shelves, and I thought it would be helpful to include a post about the appropriate slot height to use for these 2 degree wedges. Make the slot about 1/16" bigger than the thickness of the shelf. In this case the shelf was just over 3/4" with finish, and the slot height is a smidge more than 13/16." Most hardwood is planed to 25/32," and so use a slot height of 27/32." Pine is typically 3/4," slot height 13/16." I recommend a slot depth of 1" to 1 1/4" to insure plenty of purchase for the wedges.
Hungarian shelves are definitely one of the niftiest shelving systems. Happy New Year!
