Your right 3 toed, but the prawns and steak on the BBQ and the cold beer in the carpark (my cricket club takes a bus every year to day 3) was worth it.
I was able to glue and fit all the shelves today, just need to sand it all. I the have to make up and fit the dividers.
I only have room to asseble one at a time, so the second one will have to wait.

Looks good Pappy!
How do you go with keeping it stable? Slight lean backwards?

Had some spare time this wek and was able to assemble and fit most of the dividers, I haven't decided if I will fit the two in the top shelf or leave it as one?
Hopefully I will get time to fill a few hole, sand and get a coat of clear on it by the weekend.
Artme, I think I will fit a packer along the top so it can be anchored to the wall (stop any future grand kids pulling it over
)

Looking good Pappy and nearly finished.
How do you fix the dividers and do you expect any potential problems due movement of the shelf "infils"I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan

Looking good
I like your use of the discarded timber
You could use those two corner brackets to anchor it to the wallregards

Hopefully I will get to deliver it to number 1 daughter's place this weekend
