There have been so many distractions/delays in my bookshelf project. One little hangup has been the router. At some point in the planning I decided that cutting grooves in some parts of this project would be necessary. So I bought a router. But it has been sitting in the garage untouched for quite some time. I didn't actually know how to use a router, Mike had never used one either. So, long story short, last night we got some bits and today I found my courage and went to it. Some youtube videos and piecing together of crummy instructions later I fired up the router and cut the first groove (in a test piece of wood). It was terrible! But, it only took another try to figure it out and in no time I was cutting very pretty grooves that won't be seen. Anyway, the router is lots of fun and now I know what I'm doing with it.
I actually made some good progress on the shelves this weekend, and maybe, just maybe they'll get done before forever!
