at this point I spend close to 5 days just prepping wood, cutting it down to size, cutting and mortising tenons etc...
Tonight I finally managed to test fit the first shelf (roughly, way way togo before the tenons are all precisely squared)
 |
| dry fitting the shelf to get an estimate if my crazy idea will work... |
 |
| gluing up the shorter legs... |
 |
| 24 hours togo, before these are dry |
The sad part is, I have about 40 clamps at this point in time and keep running out of them. And have honestly no idea yet how to get my hands on 4 more 50" cabinet clamps, to glue up the legs to the tenons. I just refuse to pay 80$ for such large clamps, which I barley ever going to use. For my cutting boards I need 20" clamps max, which 'only' cost 40$ a piece....
But once the shelf is done, it should roughly look like this (from the architecture point of view, haven't decided on chamfers and so yet.)

| rough design, no details added. Since it would take to long |
The design itself is done, using google sketch-up. Which is a fantastic and easy to use software for 3D designs and basic modeling. The best part is, that it's completely extendable by using the programming language ruby and provides me with plugins to calculate how much wood I need and how it has to be cut.
