Lap joint

We were both really happy with how the first half of the shelf was looking once it was attached to the wall. The expanse from the side of the cupboard to the opposite wall was too long for one piece of wood, so Brian needed to join a second piece to it, using a half lap joint, which he’d carefully cut by hand.

Using his laser he’d fixed the batons to the wall, ready for the second half of the shelf to be fixed securely in place.

Then he dropped the shelf into place, gluing and screwing it, before clamping it and leaving it to dry overnight.

Can’t wait now to start using it, and organising our desk area.
