Phantom229Carpenters, I need your help
So it didn't turn out 100% perfect but it'll do. I hate painting.

Phantom229Oh and my portable table saw's arbor is to small to accept dado blades so I had to do the dado cuts with a router and a dado bit. It was kind of a pain in the ass to do the longer cuts.

WoodmanNice finish job! Built-in shelves really tie the place together. I've wanted to make built-ins beside the meager 1920s fireplace here. There are windows framing the chimney, so they would have a super-deep sill. Perfect for some greenery.

I live my the credo
Caulk and paint make a carpenter what he ain't". Judicious application of the first and a calming curtain of the latter hide most of my errors. If you're drunk and missing one shoe when viewing my work, it almost looks square and level.
A few minutes ago I retrieved a small tupperware of semi-gloss and a brush. Still good it is after two years, for a little touch-up on the trim. The final feathering of my nest in preparation for ... who knows!
As much as I hate it, the stuff has its purpose.
