This is a shelve I built for my daughter it's not finished in this picture. I added the hooks and she wanted it painted. I got the plans out of shop notes.
Bill, What a great project. I just started the exact same piece yesterday. I really like the way it turned out for you. I hope mine looks just as good.
I just used pine, kind of thought it fit the project. I first bought some hooks a home depot kind of a double hook but shiny they looked terrible. So I drove to Grand Rapids just to look for hooks about 45 miles away. Found just the perfect hooks they really made a difference. When I get back to Lititz PA I will take a picture of the finished shelf.
This is a great starter project. Iam just a beginner myself. I made a mistake I said I got the plans from shop notes. The plan was actually in Woodsmith Magazine. Just take your time and follow the directions and I should turn out fine Drew.
