If the shelves are all the same size than use a combination square and do a simple layout, say 1 1/2" from each edge on the corners. Use a good wood cutting drill bit and most importantly, drill the holes in a drill press. Drill oversize for ease of putting it together. At least 1/8" bigger than the all-thread.
I picked up a few Salamander racks with cherry wood shelves from a buddy of mine for cheap. I wound up with 12 shelves and linked them together into one long unit with 4 shelves each using with a total height of 44". I purchased 48" lengths of 5/8-11 black oxide finished all-thread from McMaster Carr. They had the cheapest price around. I made steel plates to tie the front and rear rods together with black delrin pades attached so I could drag it out from the wall. They also added a bunch of stability. Excuse the mess, pics were taken as I was loading my gear back onto the shelves and I had stuff every where. I'll see if I can attach some photos.
