A Curio Shelf

Questions, comments, snide remarks. You stole my line! 😊

Cool! Many ways of doing things. I like your attention to detail, especially with the dove tails. Fabulous! By the way, how do you keep your chisels so nice and sharp? Do you sharpen them yourself? If so, could you show us how?

Very Nice Work!!!! What If You Took & Put Vintage Pictures On The Back!!!! Clear Front Cover Protector From Dust!!! Thanks James!!! 👏👍😎

I think you could have spiced it up with some purple heart and some epoxy! Hear me out here, James: Live edge river shelves! :p

Thanks, James.

I have a collection of classic Corgi model cars and this looks like it could be a great way to display them.

I have been thinking of building a library set and this looks the ideal method. can you put a rebate in the back panel similar to the sides to discourage shelf bow under weight for 3ft shelves ?

NGL, everytime he dips his fingers in that jar, I look for a different video. It's like anti ASMR! LOL! Everything else is cool though!

Cool project.

I didn't really see any thicknessing of individual components. I guess that was off camera?

Nothing like a simple curio display made with hand tools. The sounds of planes and hand saws never gets old. Nice one!

Those look very similar to the miniature tools over on Jim Bode's site. As for what you can do to spice it up... why not do some knot work on the facing edges or put in some unnecessary exotic wood inlays.

Before you start I’ll guess white oak?

I’m no Aussie but here’s a comment down under. 🙃

Any plans to do a glass door for that cabinet?

Des étagères plus épaisses que les traverses ?! Strange 😂

much merit working with that hard wood. Nice James.... please go deeper in the "favors" thing. Love'em!!!

Nice work James. Oak looks like so much fun to work with. Curious, if you took a picture of you holding it would it be a shelfie?

👍👍👍👍

I think some sort of carved ornate piece across the top would look cool.

Great!

Amazing, James! Beautiful work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Nice build! 👍👍

I'm sorry i'm new to hand tool wood working. May I ask why you test the edges of the boards with your fingers before and after planing ? What info does that provide ? Thank you :)

It’s hard to find a free old wooden desk by the curve. I’ve come across with lots of ikea (don’t look down on ikea stuff, I’ve used them to build jigs)

Very good work, Love it.

Like the cabinet and your miniatures
