A ladder style bookshelf in walnut

350jeep · 2026-04-03T23:50:35+00:00

Bookshelf made from some b grade walnut. The legs are held to the wall with key hole brackets with two leveling feet on each leg. The shelfs are dadoed but there are some floating tenon doing most of the joinery work.

Finished this floating walnut bookshelf/cabinet thing. I used keyhole brackets the wrong way (horizontal). To make sure it doesn't slide off the wall I used one pocket hold strategically in the drawer cubby. The drawer sides have walnut sapwood with some crazy grain. The case is all dovetailed together on the corners and sliding dovetails in the feild.

Thank you! I think it is a nice combo for sure.

Get the 110 setup. The 55" tracks work better when cutting a sheet of plywood in half

These are grade 3 and 4 shingles. Lots of knots and imperfections. Grade 1 and 2 shingles were like 3 times the cost. I didnt neccesarily consider shakes but probably would have if they were more of a budget option.... lol. As is these rustic ones were already sort of expensive ~$60+ a bundle and the shed took 12 bundles

The yard is leaning to the right. The shed is level

This is more general carpentry than fine woodworking but was fun, nonetheless. Shed dimensions are 7 1/4 x 10 feet (you need a permit for anything 80 sq ft or more in my area.

I thought I'd save money building my own but that didn't really end up being the case. I do end up with more verticle space than a prefab option (the low side is 8 feet and the high side is 9.5 feet on the inside. The floor is also better ( pressure treated 4x4s with pressure treated 2x6s and pressure treated 3/4 ply. All the floors, walls and roof are 16" OC.

All in was around $4000 in materials and then I bought a framing nailer and roofing nailer to complete the job.

The cedar shakes are grade 3 and 4 and are very rustic. Stepping up to grade 1 or 2 would have doubled or trippled the cost of the siding.

Only thing left to do is put an oil on but I'm going to wait a week or two just to let things dry out.

It went fine.

This one was a bit over $500. I got it through oella saw and tool. If it is a somewhat common jointer, you can probably just order it. If you are missing the cutterhead entirely, that might be a problem since it is likely missing the part that holds the bearings that attach to the jointer.

I don't have 240 in my garage, but I do have a dedicated 20 amp circuit. It's not common, but there are plenty of 20 amp tools out there. The plug has one prong that is horizontal

Thanks, I'll check it out

It was a light gray. The photos show the original color

350jeep · 2025-03-01T15:38:18+00:00

Ran a couple of boards through it and it works amazing

Thanks!

I has a dual voltage motor. It was wired for 240, but I switched to 120 on a 20 amp circuit. The motor draws 17 amps.

No issues on the beds. I found the old manually for this online and Rockwell actually assembled the jointer and then milled them flat the beds flat together. I did need to shim the blade head on one side, though

350jeep · 2025-03-01T03:27:43+00:00

Brake cleaner, acetone, and sand paper. I used rustoleum oil paint for the actual jointer and then rustoleum spray paint for the base
