really? Almost all shelves have a stationary top & bottom with adjustable in the middle.

If nothing else, Achebe's Things Fall Apart should have a place on the list—a stunning book of simple yet impactful prose. The final chapter might be the closest thing to perfect I've ever read. Asian authors are woefully underrepresented in literary studies in English in general, so I'm not surprised that they're…
The interesting part of this is the mechanics and design, not the material source.
You're correct, but as noted in the steps, I intend to build a polished version using a good quality timber next year.
Only if you're cutting 1/8" deep, otherwise you'll be there all day.
If you want to cut more efficiently, put a diamond tile-cutting blade (about $10) on an angle grinder.
These tools are life-savers if you're trying to cut something flush, or you're in a tight spot, but they are way way less effective for straight…

Of any type in general, but Phillips or Star types in particular, Dad is a bargain lover, so he always buys cheap class screw drivers, last year he gave me two Phillips screwdrivers of different sizes as a gift. I was happy to use them when I needed to open a computer case, remove components or do some electricity…

Andy's opening question caused an eye-roll here, with its implication that introverts somehow have better PR and are more culturally valued, in the U.S., at least, than extroverts. The bias in favor extroversion in the U.S. is so blatant, and the pathologizing of introversion so overt, that I can't believe he'd make…
I would also add in two saws: First is a bandsaw. The size needed depends on what you are doing but they are a great addition to a shop. There isn't much you can't do with a bandsaw and table saw. The bandsaw is (IMO) crucial if you are dealing with raw lumber from a mill to get it to size without having to worry…
Excellent list.
One could easily put more brackets under the top shelf. In fact, brackets rather than those middle supports would have been a better design.
I think that having a limited amount of time does tend to focus a person. However, it seems like so many "day jobs" are different from those of Faulkner and Eliot's days, when you put in your hours and left it at that. So many companies now require overtime to the point where you are working 60+ hours a week, and the…

BTW, when painting a patch, use a (dampened so soft) natural sponge to pounce the paint on the patch. It will blend into the wall better...much better...than a brush. You can find natural sponges in cosmetic departments or craft stores.
Also, according to a graph I saw once, cancer causes cell phones.
No, all wrong. Record everything and assert your rights. Be polite too.
