Last Friday, the boss asked me to build a shelf unit with wine rack for his wife while she's away. This week, I've had a few short assignments as an electrician. The rest of the time, I've been paid to have fun in the shop.
In order to get the necessary parts the same length, I cut the pieces about a 1/4" over length, then stacked them in the bandsaw vise with the ends lined up accurately. A piece of corrugated cardboard in the vise helps to clamp all the pieces firmly.
The unit will be picked up tomorrow for painting. Black hammer-tone. Smoked glass shelves. LED up-lighting under the wine bottles. It will go into a rock-lined alcove in their kitchen. He predicts that she will cry.
