Shelving Units: The On Again, Off Again Project

The shelving units are a set of larger objects that will eventually go home with me. I fit their construction into the shop schedule when and where time allows. The design therefore experiences evolution. I had some spare time this past month to get two of the units assembled using a novel way of joining the shelves to the side frames with profiled mounts that allow some offset to take place which compensates for any small yet unavoidable dimensional tolerance errors that occurred during construction.

Meaning that everything went together really well during assembly.

I have a client project that I started a few days ago, so the shelving unit project is again on hold for the time being. Good thing too, because I now have a better idea formed for building the top sections using a profiled frame method that could turn out to be far more compelling than the simple solid wood tops currently applied to the two assembled units.

Building top sections for the shelving units will have to wait though, because newly commissioned work takes priority over anything else in this workshop.
