Breakfast area side shelf

After building my outdoor furniture, the temperature gotten so cold so I built this project entirely indoor. I was excited about this project because I've been wanting to have some sort of shelving in our breakfast area.

So here's my latest project. I tried to take picture every step but sometimes I don't want to stop what I'm doing. 

For this project, I used whitewood boards and furring strips.

My shelving will measure 6' X 24" X 12" when finished.

I started by cutting the boards and made dado cuts..

..for the dado joints

..then the side frame                                                                 

 
                                           and attached the sides

... the top and bottom middle support

adding the side braces for the shelves..

adding X brace for back support                                      Next, the shelves
                                                                                    

Somebody is at the background, AGAIN.

Then I proceed to cut pieces for the side x braces and dado cut each mid parts

      Attached and made 8 X's

Staining before assembling the sides
(better to stain ALL the parts before attaching, saves time)

After attaching the side X braces and more finishing coats (2 coats of minwax ebony stain and clear poly) 

 ...the FINISHED result!

 

I need fancier stuff to display here :-)

Wines are coming! :-)
