Nice design and build. One way to keep the saw from scuffing the paint is to put some tape around the dowel before cutting it. Then the tape gets scuffed, not the paint. You can then trim the dowel flush with a sharp chisel. - Chris

That's a great idea! Thank you Chris!

Great video! The rabbet joints and glue is enough to stabilize the shelves? Thanks

[@blackcoffeebuilds9191]

Yeah it's still holding up fine. Just make sure to use lots of glue. It wouldn't be wrong to use hardware for extra security but I liked the look without it.

@@blackcoffeebuilds9191 thanks for getting back to me and the tip... I agree.. the look is much better

Awesome video, I was thinking to keep the paint from being scuffed while cutting the dowel , drill a hole slightly smaller than the dowel on a thin plastic sheet ( milk container)or maybe paper? and Slide than on top of the dowel.
