Simple Book Shelf
« on: June 03, 2014, 12:44:19 pm »
My neighbor passed away a couple weeks ago, so his wife game me all of his western books by Louis L'Amour. Instead of keeping two big boxes of them, I decided to make a book shelf. I just used cheap 1x6 boards from Lowes and a 2'x4' sheet of birch ply for the back side. I finally got a project to use my dado stack on and I really enjoyed using it. Just one quick pass with a 3/4" wide dado and it is done. Well thanks for looking.

Dustin that looks great.  Wish I had a table saw and the room to use it :)  Thanks for sharing this with us.
