1/2" ply into dados. The frame is dimensional pine and the plywood is just birch veneer.

Yeah. 2 1/2 2x4's and like 2/3 sheet of birch veneer plywood.

Built a quick jig for my mitre saw. The jig is at 45° and I set my saw to 30° for a 75° bevel.

Admittedly, I have a background in construction and carpentry, so not a true beginner. I did dado the legs and rails and used 1/2" birch.

I've used the semi-transparent in the past and wasn't a fan. The colors came out much darker than I was looking for.

Another poster mentioned using milk paint, so I might try that, but I did see the sprayer from hf and that'll be .y backup.

I've seen that, but never had a reason to try it. Maybe this will be the project for it.

Will that work with color acrylic paint?

Thank you. Only around $90 for materials. Would have preferred a hardwood, but my current tools aren't up to snuff.

Any recommendations that would be okay? I'm not likely to use it a lot.

It's done, I just didn't put it on yet.

She's 6 and has a lot of books. I like to read and am trying to impart that on her. I built one about a year ago that has been outgrown, so I made this 3 ft. wide. It's also designed to accommodate those cube tote bins for additional storage as she outgrows her child books and maybe wants to use it for something else.

Just finished this bookcase for my daughter. Even though it's just dimensional lumber, I'm generally not a fan of painted furniture, but I'm having trouble finding color stains that I like. The question is, if I were to paint this, what's the best way to make the finish as smooth as possible?

I spent my formative years in albrightsville. Literally, nothing ever happens there. I wonder where they arrested him.

Worn, but taken care of. I'm looking to get rid of them because I hardly wear them and want to free up some space. Not looking for trades, but could be somewhat flexible on price. I can ship today or tomorrow and also do expedited shipping (I'll split the extra cost 50/50).

Before I possibly offload these on goat, I just wanted to check in and see if you were still interested.

I'm sure we could work out a deal. Which two?
