First step today was the enjoyable task of sanding all the plywood using a belt sander and and orbital sander. If you do not have a belt sander and/or an orbital sander, you could do this by hand, or skip. If you skip, your final finish will not be as nice, but it will still be good. Tim just purchased a nice little vacuum hold down, so I put it to use in holding the plywood down to the work bench. It worked perfectly.

I built a set of bookshelves in my basement with just a sketch on a 2×4, and it turned out great. This time I thought I would do everything from a proper design, drawings, to buying rough lumber from the mill and planing it down. Over all it has been a good learning experience. We started on 2/18/06 with cutting up the wood, etc. I have some pics, just need to get the time to get them up. :-) That is how I have done it in the past.

This is a big improvement on my technique of "fire up the table saw and see what can be screwed together afterwards". That worked OK on my bathroom cabinets, though.
