Ahh my final project is complete....SAY WHAT?! I know, I am rather shocked myself that I was able to actually construct a bookshelf. I worked a total of about six and half hours on it. I was able to finish it in two days after thoroughly mentally preparing myself. I used a couple new tools such as the pocket screw and the dado blade. I found the hardest thing to do was to square everything up in the end because my cuts of wood were not all the same dimensions. This was mainly due to the fact that I am incapable of being precise and accurate when measuring and cutting. Although, I think that stems from my impatience when it comes to wood work. Edge banding I also found quite difficult, again for the fact that I have no patience when it comes to projects such as these. I learned a lot about what it takes to think about, plan out and eventually construct something entirely on your own (Well with great help from Tim and Shannon of course!) All in all, I say the project was a success. It is far from perfect, I am not going to lie and say that it is close to perfect, but it is as close to perfect as this girl could get building a bookcase!
Unfortunately, I was so caught up in the process of building the bookcase that I could not peel myself away even for a second to take pictures :/ So I do not have any pictures to show.
