Posted by xGirlx on Jun-24-2004 16:19:

Yes, but filling cracks and wood kind of go hand in hand.

A shelf is pretty easy to make. I made a combo CD and DVD shelf. All I used was a crap load of 1x8 inch boards, some screws, and a little bit of wood glue (just to make sure the frame held). Oh yeah, and a saw, a cordless screwdriver, and some measuring tape.

Unless you're trying to get artsy with it, a shelf is basically just a bunch of right angles. as long as you make sure everything is the same length (for your shelves) it's just "glue and screw."

I hope that helps, if not, I apologize for wasting your time.

Hardware stores run instructional seminars for free

Shelves are easy to build.

Building a chair is a real bitch, easier to build a bench or something.

I used to be a journeyman carpenter. Have built at least 50 full homes, and as many additions. Remodeled a shit load of basements, cut in patio doors, built decks, replaced windows, you about name it.
Am chilling now running computer databases, but the knowledge and ability never leaves you. Even built a geodesic dome home once. Lol!

Did you build the database out of wood?

Posted by smokeape on Jun-25-2004 01:33:

Database took more brains than brawn. Building houses takes brawn, but if you're the lead carpenter laying out the rooms, etc. according to the blueprint, you have to have some brains as well. Dabbled into architecture, you have to on additions, but I can tell you I've built some pretty shitty homes based on the blueprints. The more you build, the more you get a feel for things.
