    Just a tip, when using painters tape don't press so hard, go get clear caulking and put a very light amount on your line, it stops bleeding and it gives an exact edge and you immediately pull the tape while it's wet, you will not get better lines, you'll thank me later.. nice build, I'm working on another piece and I'm jealous of your tools and garage I'm working with chop and table saw only 😩 but I've done it before...

    Great build, I might try it but with dadoes (using a router and a track) for the shelves instead of pocket holes, so I don't have to deal with all the hole filling plus it might support more weight.

    Very nice build. Another option for the pocket holes is to use plugs. You can buy them or get the Kreg pocket hole plug jig. Then you don't have as much Bondo or filler to use. Oh and I have the same flexio sprayer. I've had problems with some paints not spraying well. Did you have to thin it? Also what paint was it?

    Another tip if you can’t get bondo is use shrinkless spackle that you would use on drywall. Works really well easy to work with, mixing hardener and fairly inexpensive. Sands super smooth also.

    I built a built-in bed for my sons with shelves underneath and storage behind the shelves. To make it really fit, I cut the skirting boards. Of course, I saved the offcut bits. A couple of years later, it was time for a change of location. When everything was packed, I realised that there room had incomplete skirting boards. The bits I had saved had gone with lots of other bits I had stored up for “later”. So the night before we were due to drive across half of Europe, I was nailing new skirting boards until 2am.
