Here is the outer shell after the first glue upWell it is not anymore.  I was able to salvage the sides and top/bottom for different parts but for the outer shell, I had to mill more lumber to be able to redo it.

Why Redo the Outer Shell

There are multiple reason to have done this.

• Not square from the get go

  • When I originally glued up the outer shell , it was not square although I did a dry run

  • the shelf was cut too long and not properly fitted in length when glued the outer shell together

  • Crappy dovetail

    • Personally, there gaps that I am willing to tolerate, but not that much.  I should of not glued it up like that from the get go and should of cut the strip to redo them

So back to square 1.5.... Not quite from scratch but pretty close.  But I am not really discouraged by this, just doing what I should of done from poor job and maybe trying to go too fast or too tired when cutting the joints or what ever the reason.Even though this is shop furniture, I still like them too look good and don't want to redo it in whatever time because I did a not so good job.  

It does practice and shop time and good organisation of tools.The lumber is now dimensioned for the outer shell and the dovetails are layout on the main vertical members and now time for sawing to perfection.Enough writing, lets go woodworking.
