Making a thing to replace this boring bookshelf or whatever behind my front door.

Results. I wouldn’t call this perfect by any measure, but I think it’s really solid. To do better would require many more points and height matching. #woodworking

Good morning #woodworking

Spent nearly all day on this. Most of the time was spent making the slots for first class saw cuts. #woodworking

Realized this morning that 1/2” is ok for a tenon in 4/4 stock but an insane mortise in 4/4 stock. I used my router plan to get the tenons down to size. It took ages but I am glad I did this before I chopped the mortises. #woodworking

Did a little chopping before dinner. #woodworking

Did this one yesterday morning. Not done but close. Now to chop two more and then make the drawbore pins. #woodworking
-
Drawboring. Need to make a lot more pegs still #woodworking

Wood is the opponent. Joinery is the strategy employed to win the war. #woodworking

Love wedges. #woodworking

A little progress before dinner. #woodworking

And a little more before bed. #woodworking

Good morning #woodworking

Fit is as perfect as I could imagine. It should be 1/8” to 1/4” shallower, but I can manage that with a bigger bumper or something. #woodworking
-
Shelf added and it still fits. I have… a lot of things I’d do differently next time but this is how we learn! #woodworking
-
Shelf permanently added. I’ll start on drawers tomorrow #woodworking
-
Pondering this for drawer face. #woodworking
-
Progress on drawers. These dovetails had no paring; fit right off the saw. (Might fiddle with them still tho) #woodworking
-
Second drawer coming together. Next I need to make the groove for the bottom. Undecided if I’ll use the 45 (predictable, easy, fiddly) or a chisel (fast, skillful, fun, risky) #woodworking
-
Really pleased with the look of this drawer #woodworking
-
Getting close. #woodworking
