In the end that is the method I used, I made a jig for my router so I could repeatably cut the same corner shape out. I didn't get it perfect but I'm happy with it for a first piece.

A good idea, one question I had was actually why people around me can justify £1 a foot for a reclaimed board but they are that cheap new! I wonder if this is what people are willing to pay or are the older boards better quality/thickness?

Great tip but a little further away than i'd like to go if I can avoid it! I'm also looking at a reclaimed scaffold board top, any thoughts? It might be a nice cheap option for now while I learn.

Hello again, The project was put on hold for a while but I finally have some time to finish it off now. I'm really happy with the results so far thanks to a lot of the advice given on here, I also really enjoyed the process! I still need to source a top for the unit and have been looking...

Nudge, any other ideas all

thanks for the input! I do have a router, and yes I do like the 'chunky' look of the 2x2 corner posts. The original video/tutorial uses 1x2's for the rails, the ply then sits behind this, somehow ending up flush to the back (inside face). He mentions spacing the play back a tiny bit, the...

Hi all, Disclaimer!: I am new to woodworking (at least in a furniture sense, plenty of DIY experience) but keen to learn, a shoe rack design has caught my eye and I've decided to have a go. I can't post links to the youtube tutorial on my account but the end product should end up looking...
