       Making a thing to replace this boring bookshelf or whatever behind my front door.  Happy for any thoughts. #woodworking

       Got to do some joinery today. These narex richters really do not like to chop mortises though #woodworking

       Got all of the side to side mortises done and tenons fit. Not as tight as I’d like but I had to switch to a chisel that’s slightly wider. 7 mortises to chop for the front to back panels, and 8 tenons to create. Trying soap stone and sharpie to mark depth on chisel and sharpie currently wins but I still don’t love it. #woodworking

       Added some wooden nails to give it some added strength and pared ~everything a bit. Will not dry fit anymore.

       Added first two drawer rails. They are not as square as I’d like but once everything is assembled they won’t be visible so I’m ok with it. #woodworking

       Results. I wouldn’t call this perfect by any measure, but I think it’s really solid. To do better would require many more points and height matching. #woodworking

       Realized this morning that 1/2ā€ is ok for a tenon in 4/4 stock but an insane mortise in 4/4 stock. I used my router plan to get the tenons down to size. It took ages but I am glad I did this before I chopped the mortises. #woodworking

       Next steps: add breadboard end and drawbore them in place, as usual. After that get the lap dovetailed stretchers built. I have to figure out how best to pierce the floating shelf to put it on the stretchers. Suggestions welcome (question is less how to make holes but more how to accurately make the such that they match the legs.) #woodworking

       Fit is as perfect as I could imagine. It should be 1/8ā€ to 1/4ā€ shallower, but I can manage that with a bigger bumper or something. #woodworking

       Second drawer coming together. Next I need to make the groove for the bottom. Undecided if I’ll use the 45 (predictable, easy, fiddly) or a chisel (fast, skillful, fun, risky) #woodworking
