      I used biscuit joints on the side rails. I screwed the end rails in, hence the plugs. For the shelf itself I just used 1/4" hardboard. I will get some pictures this week.

      I tell you what, it was so incredibly easy to make a cutting diagram and materials list by doing the model in SU.

      This was the first project I did with square plugs. I don't know if it is the right way to do them but while shaping the plugs I shot a few across the workshop(garage) off of my stationary belt sander. It was kind of like Chris Farley in the movie Tommy Boy when he shot the oil filter across the factory.

        nice functional design, Eric. Beats the boxes-in-the-basement set-up that I've got. πŸ˜„

                Very nice to.
                I can see those chocolate wrappers from Gidons cabinet hiding in the bottom shelf.

                  I love the square plugs, but where can I buy a square drill bit?

                      Why at the Corner Hardware store of course πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜† πŸ˜’
                      Thanks all for the comments. And Maggy (as you probably guessed) regular drill and square it up with a chisel.

                        actually I guessed it was something like this model, a dowel with a square head or something similar

                          Very nice Eric. Did you make anything to match?

                            Nope, it is a "one off". I have always wanted to use that term.

                              Did you sign it. So I take it that it will not show up in the highend furniture stores? πŸ˜„

                                I did brand it. I had a custom brand made a few years back.
                                This is what it looks like, except with Eric Lay in the middle.
