Made some shelves for my apt. One for my girlfriends stuff and another one for my girlfriends stuff(my things go under the bed). I learned a few good lessons on this project, the main one being patience. Another good lesson I learned is that the quality of your jig directly effects the quality of your finished project. Building a good jig can be as fun as building your project.
The shelves are cherry with walnut trim and mounting ledger. I used bridle joints for the brackets and dowels to hold the shelf to the brackets.
I added a picture of my skateboard(my first love) because it has been sitting collecting dust since I have been spending all my free time in the shop on my newest hobby.

Looking good Chris. Building functional projects, and learning lessons along the way…that’s what it’s all about.
I expect to see your growth through your projects. Next time you come by the shop, we’ll work on those skills…and I want to introduce you to one of my best friends…my Dewalt scroll saw. You get one of those, and your skateboard will get very jealous.
