    Brilliant, now another project for me to do this weekend.
    By the way, a leftover piece of ply....you know planning counts. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
    This reminds me when I needed to walpaper my living room last year and my next door neighbour had the same size house and just completed his living room, so I asked him how many rolls of wallpaper he bought to do his, "9 rolls" he said, So I bought the 9 rolls and started to work on my room. When I had finished, I had 2 rolls left over, so I went next door and told him I had 2 rolls over, then he tells me, he had 2 roll left over as well.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    All the best.. phil

    You know sometimes, when demonstrated, a simple idea can seem so obvious, that you can’t believe you didn’t think of it yourself.
    Doing a test run with the router and guide to measure the offset is a classic example. Brilliant! My method from here on.
    Thanks for that.

    A really nice job, the shelves came out great. Saw a very useful tip from Norm Abrams when you're adding screws through a rebate. To ensure you get them centralised in the channel, simply pre drill from the cut side and you have the holes marked once the shelves/partitions are placed. You can then pre-drill again knowing you'll hit the centre of the shelf.

      That method pre drills out onto a visible side. If you get tear out, as you often do with plywood, it'll look a bit of a mess. A pencil marking out the middle of each shelf is simple enough

    I appreciate the video. Simple and effective set of shelves. I recently heard on one of the channels, 'Do you want to spend time building out your shop, or building in your shop?' This definitely falls in the latter. It is too easy to get caught up in building a grand piece of furniture for the shop, and never actually use the shop for building things for the home.

    I’m very much enjoying the channel and learning a lot. My next project is to insulate my cold brick-built garage workshop so I can carry on fiddling with my motorbike and building a small steam loco through the winter. Your ‘garage door’ project was especially helpful there.
    But... I was really alarmed in this video to see you reaching up above your old shelf unit for hammers and an axe (I think). Look at yourself as you do that and you’ll see you are looking straight up... ready to receive a face-full of said hammers (or axe). As well as a face-full of dust off the shelf. Take care. Please.

    Another great video! I have the same router and really pleased with it.
    One piece of advice to add, you routed right to left on one cut, this is a climb cut which makes it harder to stay on your guide, always route left to right when your router is closer to you than your guide timber.

    • @ProperDIY

However, when I routed the shelf slots with my 12mm straight cut bit I found that there was a lot of play in the shelves. On measuring the nominal 12mm ply it came up as 11.5mm, hence the play. How did you get around this in your build?

    What size screws you use for 1/2" plywood? Im building a camperbox for my car out of 12mm plywood and Im wondering if 3x30 or so are going to be enough for glued butt joints.
    Also, thanks so much for the (obvious) tip on measuring the router-guide distance. I feel so embarassed now cause I was thinking about this few times now and didnt think of simply making a cut and then measuring the distance :D

    Great video really enjoyed it. How are the retractable wheels doing on the workbench, not sure whether to fix my on permanently or try your retractable method.

      Thank you. Good question. They are working well however when I was making my 'Garden Table with Concrete Top' I tried to move it while I have the concrete top curing on the workbench and it struggled to the point of imminent failure if I tried to move it any more. So conclusion is that it's fine for the 200kg bench but is not then designed to then also carry a large lump of concrete as well!

    I've been DIYing for over 60 years but I'm still learning little tips here and there, and have enjoyed watching all your videos. I also love the dry wit... and think I'm one of your earliest subs....
    However... I really hate your use of music. Although I'm being self-ageist... such music just isn't necessary when you have a natural soundtrack we can listen to. Just one man's view... ;-)

    Well i must say that was a fabulous video, much needed here as we recently moved to a place where hubby finally has a good workspace, so needs shelves. Thank you. Btw where do you store all your nuts/bolts/screws? Oh and i hope you dont chuck that Ikea shelving, you can still use it elsewhere….

      Thank you so much. I'm glad to give your husband some ideas. Those screws/nuts and bolts are alway difficult. I have a plastic box for all my different types of screws as I have so many it really doesn't fit into a shelf etc. Don't worry, the Ikea bookcase is safe and relocated - you will no doubt see it in the next video.
