Making Furniture - Bookshelf - Part 1 // Using traditional traditional hand-tools

Making a small bookshelf 70s inspired design of mine. The middle row will contain the books, with drawers added to the top and bottom.

Part 1 focuses on making the main unit/carcass for the books and drawers.

This build was more challenging since I made the boards too thin - they were suppose to be thicker. But gives a more elegant/finer feel at the end of the day.
