Another unique video. I believe that you are the only craftsman who takes the time to detail the skull and paper work to detail how a project Will be built using scale drawings and layout on project pieces. The newer folks watching can see the critical steps needed before any wood is milled. When I am impatient and short this process, I invariably mess up and then curse myself for being so dumb. I am always impressed how you and your wife work so closely to functionally design a piece. On shelf heights I have used the commercial extruded aluminium wall strips and shelf brackets to allow for future variables. They aren't quite esthetic looking but are functional. I did notice the adjustable square being a bit short issue. There are longer adjustable squares which I find helpful when the longer L square is too long. You and your wife do make a good team planning out a project. I am continually amused that we ex-colonials so fanatically cling to the irrational measures of inch, foot, yard, cup, pint, quart, and gallon. One thinks we would have changed by now. History always mentions that the colonies always stay behind the times. British researchers have to travel to the colonies to get glimpses of the past. Good on ya both. Gaz.

Hi Ben you just remind me off my grandad in the 70s he youed to put everything down on paper and work out the joints in full size. Me I just work things out in my head as I go along and see what works out best 👍👍.

Hi Ben, For my uprights, I usually add a bit of tape to sew top of each upright and label them with the letter and an arrow pointing to the front. Cheers Nick

Another good video ben buddy

I'm in a bit of apprehension of the complexity. 😬 Might I suggest that you set up the crosscut saw and check it for square, then cut all the uprights to the correct and consistent length using an end stop? Then you can safely work with far fewer lines! Also, a label on each piece with something like "inside back left" or similar. Visualisation is challenging, and you have to use labelling that makes sense to you! Don't be afraid to cut them now and adding 10mm each end just complicates things ❤❤❤
