Love this project! Is there a measured drawing of this leaning wall shelf? The lumber looks to be thicker than 3/4 inches.
Drawing and cut list here: https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/videos/leaning-wall-shelf/
Another nice project underway.
Did you use a rip saw on the angled cross cut on the bottom of the side?
Probably a cross cut. You can use a rip cut with fine teeth, but this is quite a lot of wood to cut through, so slightly larger teeth are useful. When you go for larger teeth (less than 10tpi), a crosscut specific saw is useful.
I love the design, I will probablely chicken out and use the band saw for that curved cut though.
Keep working that hard on those long cuts you will lose all your relaxed muscle!
Gotta say, it is refreshing and enjoyable to watch Paul wrestle with a bear of a board like that! It’s always good to see that even the best are human!
This is probably NOT something I’ll build, but as always, Paul creates projects that build skills, so I have no doubt I’ll enjoy and get something out of it.
Hope you’ve got a defibrillator in the workshop.
Wonderful project, Paul. You and the team keep up the great work.
Love the humor, btw!
Do the backs if each shelf touch the wall? Hard to determine from the preview.
No. Look at the plans to see the side profile. The design also helps insure that the shelves don’t tip over forwards.
If I didn’t know better, I would say Paul is making a boat!
My wife walked in and saw me watching this. Then she says, “You’re literally watching some guy sawing wood.” And I couldn’t argue. And I didn’t feel bad either.
hahahah!
That’s funny. My wife does handmade quilts, and I always kidded her about cutting apart perfectly good fabric only to sew it back together. Than I made my first cutting board a few years back. She looked at it and said “It’s pretty, but all you did was cut apart a bunch of wood and glue it back together”. Touche!
If only it were that simple! 🙂
Ha ha ha that made me chuckle
I like this project, not to say the other projects are not, this one to me looks very smart and a nice design. It’s going to keep me busy for a few weeks when I get started.
Thank you Paul and Team.
Think I would have broken down and used a jigsaw or bandsaw if I had one on that long cut!
when Paul is doing the layout he refers to the height used to calculate the foot angle as 56″ (28 X 2).
The drawing shows this dimension as 66″…..which is correct?
Thanks
Hello Barry,
So sorry for the long delay in responding. The correct dimension is 66″ and we will correct the video. Thank you for pointing this out.
Best, Phil
I like the look of this project – particularly the way the front curve in the upright matches the front curve of Paul’s relaxed muscle!
(And my wife laughs at me every time she realises I’m watching a man saw wood!)
How did Paul make the long tapered stick for laying out the curve?
hello I would see this video only I must have a membership or credits and therefore I do not have a card. it would be nice if it could also be done with paypal
