I built this shelf for my office, I want to make it look as seamless as possible. I work with kids, only lightweight toys will go on this shelf. I was hoping some type of cover existed I could put over it. It needs one more coat of paint so I was originally thinking of just taping the middle parts together since I’m installing a bracket anyway. I included a picture, it’s on every shelf, but easiest to see on the bottom. Does anyone have more official/sage options? Thank you.

The metric (4 or 5mm) holes can be redrilled to hold the 1/4" shelf spoons. If that does not do it, there are metal sockets for the 1/4" spoons that take a slightly larger hole, then they can be driven into place to hold the larger spoon. If the spoons or clips already have a 1/4" hole, then you may be better off retro fitting a shelf track system. Third pic.
Instead of trying to drive nails in a tight space, use 4ga X3/4" screws instead, the cabinet will thank you for it.
The picture size is grossly out of proportion, buit the first pic is the socket that holds the spoon which is the second pic. The socket looks more like a bucket, that will hold 10 of those spoons..
Your circular saw should be able to cut the 45 degree angle, there should be a lever to allow you to tilt the plate thus tilting the bade. Something like this
Then to get a Straight cut you need a guide along one edge. You need something longer than the piece you are cutting and wide enough to clamp it to it and have enough room to run the saw along the edge for a straight cut. Something like this, although this is a special clamp guide, you could just use something a bit wider with some other clamps.

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Finally:
None of these cutting options require a table saw. (The rip cut suggested in option 3 would be easier on a table saw, but it's not required.) As a matter of fact, a table saw is the exact wrong tool to make a crosscut on a long piece of wood like a shelf.
You would want to use a circular saw, jig saw (prepare for a shoddy looking, uneven cut) or even "just" a hand saw for these cross cuts. You could do the rip cut with a hand saw, too (been done that way for centuries before they invented electricity...) if you wanted to.
