Note: The two center shelves have full 3/4" deep dadoes and rabbets on both faces, while the top and bottom shelves have dadoes and rabbets ^^^ on one face only. 2 Uprights* (6) 1 'A" x 11V*" x 133/8" 3 TV Shelf (1) 3/4" x 117/8" x 633/8" 4 TV Shelf Fascia (2) 3/4" x 2,/2" x 503/s" * Builds one three-compartment bookcase. Two complete bookcases with an additional TV shelf are shown in this article.

I decided to use a handheld plunge router to cut this joinery. These rabbets and dadoes could be formed on a table saw with a dado head just as easily. After I set up my router and made a few test joints using cutoffs from the actual stock (see bottom photo, previous page), I continued to test the fit of the joints randomly throughout the routing process. Then it was time to assemble the bookcases. I used a foam paintbrush to apply a thin coat of glue to the faces of each joint. I built up one compartment at a time, checked them rigorously for square and allowed the glue to cure. If your joints are cut well, this process will go very smoothly. I glued the TV shelf and the fascia strips together in the same manner. The Finish Line You can't escape it: now it's time to sand. The maple veneer faces of the ApplePly need very little sanding, but the edges are a different story: they need to be sanded smooth right through to 180-grit. With that done, 1 applied three coats of dewaxed shellac and a final coat of wipe-on polyurethane. Even if I say so myself, I'm very pleased with the results. Basic joinery, sound design and good material combine to create a lovely little bookcase set you can arrange in several ways to suit your displav needs. p _X Fall 2010 65 |
