Well that depends on how many you have to grind off and do again
So is it finished Dave?

Finished!!!
- I'm still thinking about it. Although I have done the base.Seems I need to have at least four hands with a span of 3 meters between each. Plus the strength of 'King Kong' to lift it.

Done one side

It looks like a Christmas tree gone wrong
I know it looks a bit different to Ken's and the one Darren has made but it is exactly the same design except for some material changes.
The upright is 38 x 38 x 2 tube, the shelf supports are 25 x 25 x 2 tube and I have made mine double sided ............. well one and a half sided
After it is painted I will add some plastic 'stops' to the shelf support tubing ............. smart

Nice work Dave. No dividers or are you still working on it?

Thanks Ed,
Still have to cut and weld in the dividers. Then the same as Darren, wood for the shelves which could be 16mm plain chipboard, white melamine faced chipboard, 12mm plywood or 19mm shutter board. Or a mixture

As good as that looks now, I think you should use better wood. I'm thinking a nice hardwood. Do you have any 25mm walnut there?
