Hey everyone!
I have been postponing it for too long, but here it is - my alcohol shelf project!
Apologies, I know it has been annoying for everyone in the space to stumble into an array of all those painted shelves for quite a number of days in the end of last year.
Here’s how it all happened.
Firstly, I cut 18mm plywood to dimensions of shelves and sides (massive thanks to @lewisss for a very timely tracksaw+Domino induction!):
Then @joeatkin2 helped me with a little jig (thanks Joe!) to drill the edges of the sides so I could screw adjustable legs into them:
To keep things simple I decided to go for just 1 cut on each of the sides to allow for skirting:
Then the most time consuming part began!
I used insane amount of base coat layers and wood filler to even up plywood surface. Apparently it was a bad mistake to just buy plywood at local Selco🤪
I also had quite a hilarious learning curve with Domino system:
Sanding and re-coating has been a never ending process, most of the time everything looked like this:
After almost receiving threats of revoking my basic woodworking induction, I finally applied few coats of second layer paint and clear PU varnish:
Then @platinumnqueen22 helped me to glue everything up (huge thanks Brian!):
Ready to travel home!
Fit for purpose😎:
Big thanks to @mbg, @joeatkin2, @lewisss, @platinumnqueen22, @DuncanK and @Destom (hope I tagged everyone correctly!) for the invaluable input by providing their wealth of practical knowledge on various aspects of this job!
Many thanks,
Mike I
