Those continuous lines on the joints looks really good. How have you done the legs? Router with 90 bit?

Thank you! I didn't use a router at all on this project. I got one secondhand thinking that I would have, but I didn't have time to learn how to use it. I used a radial arm saw to cut the grooves for the legs. I just set the bevel to 45°. That's also how I get the ends of the legs to fit into the grooves. Edited for spelling.
Wow, nice tool you have. But not overcutting and creating a ridge should not be that easy. Beautiful work
I probably spent as much time setting up and aligning the saw as I did building the shelf. I also took a lot of measurements and really tried to visualize every step before cutting and gluing. It paid off!
Looks beautiful. How did you join the mitred edges?
Just Titebond III and I clamped it all together as best as I could. Unfortunately, one of the bottom corners is misaligned by exactly one ply. No one will notice, but it will probably haunt me to my grave.
