Kev Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I can't imagine that I did a project that I video'd and didn't create a thread on here about it. Apparently, that's what I did??? I actually built this just before Christmas as it was an item requested for Christmas. It seems my granddaughter (Morgan) very quickly outgrew the 2 previous bookshelves so, needed another larger version for her growing library. A fairly simple one day build and the video will be released on Saturday.. Designed to match the previous shelves that are currently hanging in her room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttley000 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Precious little time to watch videos these days but was able to take this in last night. Great work, and I enjoy the traditional joinery mixed with modern methods! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Kev, another couple of questions as usual. 1) When you cut the dovetails in the sides, was the initial cut with the router using a straight cutting bit or with the dt bit itself? I tried to zoom in but couldn’t tell. I’ve never made these myself. 2) You mentioned that you set the height of your bit to 3/8”, the same as your ts blade. How are those two relevant?

Your second question actually answered the first.. I did a poor job of explaining that well in the video. I used the table saw (blade height at 3/8") to hog out the initial material and then the DT bit in the router table (bit height at 3/8") to finish the DT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 So you used a dado stack and the fence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
