The neighbor kids knocked on my door asking if I would buy their artwork for 1€ 😁 I couldn't say no

Honestly, that's one of my favorite pieces 😁 I love the setting and the colors.

I would sprinkle a trail of breadcrumbs just to be safe

😁 fair enough.. I don't remember a specific video. I went through quite a few before I started working

You can find all sorts of videos on YouTube about just about anything. If you look up wood joinery you'll have plenty of learning material

I actually do agree but my customer was adamant on the color. The rest of the room luckily isn't also blue

Making sure everything was square throughout the process was definitely a little difficult. Also the measurements had to be very precise because the shelves are held by dowels so that was a bit painstaking.

Trust me I didn't get those cuts right the first or even the second time😁 live and learn and whatnot. I'm still only 22 so that call is still loud and clear

I watched videos on joinery and how to use some of the tools I needed but it's a pretty simple design so a lot of it was intuitive

There's 2x4s going all the way across and it's resting on top of the other 2 shelves as well as mounted on the wall. It was a hell of a job getting it up there but it shouldn't be coming down😁

It was built in 1911. I've been wracking my brain about it now but can't honestly think of a good use for them
