Book Shelf Brackets



This was a little project that Tim gave us towards the end of the day which involved using a jig saw, block plane and a mitre saw.




First we had to cut everything to length using the mitre saw then mark our timber along the edges to take of the aris, which we did using the block plane. Next was to use the jig saw and cut out the support that goes between the two brackets, I'm thinking I need a little more practice on the jig saw as it wasn't very square. Nothing a little sanding wouldn't fix though. And then finally it was time to srew them together which I did with a pilot hole and also countersunk and a little glue. Turned out looking actually good, was worried about about my cuts on the mitre saw, but didn't need to be in the end.
