3-Hour Shelf: Prepare Wood and Build Jig

let's get started so for the 3-hour floating shelf we're going to go classy I picked up from Woodcraft a piece of popler that's 124 and that means it's really thick it is 2 and 3/4 thick what we need to do it's overall pretty flat I think they they pled it but they didn't throw it on the jointer so I got my brand new jointer here I actually never put a piece of wood to it after I assembled hopefully it comes out good so the first order of business I got a flat this thing on the edges and I could trim them [Music] [Applause] [Music] off okay so we got one side jointed I need to figure out the overall length so this is the hardware that I found on Amazon for this super sturdy super thick gauge steel and the idea is that you board the holes and you slide the in but there's quite a bit of prep work that still needs to happen I mean overall this thing is uh 10 in I think that should be fine so what we'll need to do is chop this thing off so 9 in call it that right there what is that that is 35 in let's chop it up and let's throw it on the table saw it on the table side we need 9 in ah it won't reach I got to take the ring knife off come on all right that's off we need more blade out of this thing it's a good thing you have 3 hours good thing I have 3 hours that's the only thing that's saving me right now I still feel this crazy pressure I know you're still running [Music] around we got our first set back here it had the wrong blade on here it wasn't given enough power to cut through that which kind of sucks but I think we got plenty of time to still stay on track here all right I think we're back in [Music] business there we go that's how that's supposed to cut now what we're going to do is put a radius around this thing make sure it has nice and smooth sides I want to do a better job than just the sander so we're going to put our little roundover bit on it [Music] now we hit it with 120 and then 220 we've only been working for 15 minutes we're going to do well with this one but we still got a long way to go woo that is smoother than a baby's bottom so we need to start boring these holes in here in order to slide that in but you need a jig conveniently when we bought this set again on Amazon on they gave me for free a little boring guide so what this should do is create the right diameter for it to slide in and it's spaced out accordingly what we're going to do here is we're going to have to line the sucker up where we want our holes and then from there we'll…
