Then we used a fancy mortise jig on the tablesaw to cut a lip into the inside top of the feet. Obviously, you don't need all the hardware to do it, but if you've got it, flaunt it.

I didn't get to do anything over the weekend, but my dad glued up the feet, smoothed over the ends, and glued in some blocks on the inner surfaces of the corners.

Next, we prepared the plywood backing. It is 1/8 inch birch plywood, so it is quite flimsy.
First I measured the same distance from one edge at intervals, using some scrap wood to make sure the tape measure didn't go too diagonally, then I used a straightedge to connect the dots.

Then I put masking tape along the line, to minimize splintering, and my dad cut it with a circular saw.

We then shaved it down with a (very sharp) plane, until it fit in the groove on the back of the bookshelf.

We ground notches in the edge with a dremmel, to allow for the bolts which will hold the backing in.

For the molding around the top, we routed one edge of a board, cut it off with a tablesaw, then repeated the process.

We also ripped off two slices from some of the spare wood from the shelves.

We used the chopsaw to make a angle joint in the molding, for the corner.

For perfect placement, we wanted to place the molding while the frame was together. The masking tape is to avoid unwanted gluing.

And then we glued it. Once the glue got a bit solid, the excess glue was scraped off with a chisel.
whee! post 500!
