Running to Stand Still

I spent a bunch of my summer building this bookshelf.

Ikea sells them, but I guess I was looking for a character-building project. Perhaps the "patience" that came from constructing router jigs, the "peace" that comes from embracing imperfection, and the "wisdom" of knowing the correct tool to use for a job will show up at a later date. I must have started this project back in May or June...

The most difficult part of the project was cutting the box joints on the shelf support. There were thirty-two of them.
