Rustic style bookcase

[Nick B]

Just built this today. I based it off the plans from Ana White located here: http://ana-white.com/2012/03/plans/kentwood-bookshelf. I scaled it up to about 72"x36".  I used a brad nailer and wood glue for the top and back planking, everything else was pocket-hole joinery. I still need to sand and stain it.

Nick,

I've been able to get flush/smooth plugs by trimming them, using a fine tooth flush cut razor saw---

and sanding was minimal.

This little tool is very handy, for the small tasks.

The blade folds nicely into the handle.

Found it at Rocklers, for about $10

I actually used plugs in all the pocket holes along the front edges. It's a lot of work sanding them all down. And the plugs I got don't really blend in to well.

Thanks, that's a neat little saw. I'll see if I can get one at Harbor Freight tomorow :)
