Fabricate the shelf that goes around the kitchen soffit, then glue and air-nail 1/8 cherry plywood to a center core of 1/2 maple plywood. Left the center set back to allow it to mount to the strips.
When you mount the shelves on the strips (tap it in place with a mallet), you will have the unexpected result of having them stay up on their own. Once you put the 45 degree corner piece in place, it became very solid.
I have to basically build the corner piece in place, buy marking, cutting, then hand planing the pieces to fit. If everything were perfect, the piece would have 22.5 degree sides. In this case, they ended up being 21 on one site and 24.5 on the other. It takes a little while to get a good fit but having tight joints is worth it.
