This is my first larger furniture piece and definitely made lots of mistakes between design and execution.

It’s all cherry and designed so one end is a right angle and the top shelf if shallower to fit into the fireplace.

My main power tool is a track saw but I did have access to a wood shop for a day to mill some rougher boards. Otherwise I used hand tools to finish the rest.

I used dowels and track saw cut grooves/rabbets for most of the joinery.

It was a mistake to make it in two sections instead of just having the sides be one larger piece. I also went too aggressive with my new router. Should have made much smaller bevels.

Your username makes me think you used to be a tooth fairy, until you got fired for spreading conspiracy theories to kids. Asking them to question why a fairy needs so many kids teeth.

Um, yeah. Let's go with that. I'm definitely not the disembodied spirit of a dead and disgraced Suk doctor that betrayed his loyalty to House Atreides and his oath in order to recover his captured wife from Vladimir Harkonnen.
