I bought a cheap router at a flea market and thought it would be good to do some shop shelves as a learner project. These are the rails for the shelves that slot into the legs with lap joints. I was going to drop some 2*4 spreaders in to the top and cut the grooves on the wrong goddamn face and now I have to redo them, and of course, don't have the material so I have to go to the fucking hardware store now

Diy rule of thumb, take the time estimate for completing a project and multiply it by 3... Or 12 lol

Yeah I put together a greenhouse a few months back. Figured it would take me an afternoon. It ended up taking me and two other people five fucking days to complete.

My two hour shelf project is complete, eight hours later

And yes, in case you're wondering, they look like shit. But they will hold fertilizer.
