kind of cool too the only scraps he has is that right there we pretty much use the whole sheet of plywood anyway now he's got to mark those slots the instructions or the the plan say that you got to measure out the distance halfway and just cut it halfway every time there's a slot so I believe the tin the big ones are ten inches across so the slot goes five inches deep at the biggest part he's got to remeasure it each time all right now we're just taking the the stencils and the boards themselves and just make a little marks where the spots are going to line up at so I just leave my stencil on top of the board and I slide it up a little bit to do the bottom marks and I slide it down just a bit do the top marks making sure it's all even all the way around I worried on the stack of small boards one of the medium ones that is going to keep on going so in right now is I'm marking the cutouts you can see on that board the lines that have been made so I can know where I need to make each of the slots so what I'm doing because I'm taking each of these little marks that I made with my stencil before and I'm lining this board up that is one of the scrap pieces with the lines with the marks was one there and there's one there on the other side that you can see and I had the top end up as well and I just take a pencil I'm going to right along the bottom of that just like that and that's what makes those marks all straight so you cannot keep the slots you know where they're supposed to be because this whole thing has got to be pretty spot-on with the measurements otherwise it's not going to fit okay so we're making progress so let me tell you what I've been doing up to this point and I've taken the boards themselves and I've marked the midpoint on each of the stripes where you're putting the slot I did them if you take the whole measurement you can see that this one is eight a little over eight and an eight so what I did is it doesn't you want the slot to actually be a little bit longer than normal so I just did barely over four on that just because it want the bigger end of the half you know it only by like an eighth of an inch but the bigger end of the half to be here so when you cut it it slides down easy like let's say with each of the marks you're going to have four with the over cuts no sorry so there's four of each pieces the big the medium into small so there's going to be two with the slots on top and then two with the slots on bottom so that they kind of mesh together when you're putting the whole thing together like this the ones with the slots on the top so you can see this one has a groove in the top right here so that slides underneath this one they're really hard to get underneath if the angles aren't perfect so you want to cut just a little bit big like let's say you know how it drew the lines on it you want to cut right on those lines so you have a little bit of space to wiggle you know obviously it depends on you know how good you are with us on everything you can do it however you want so when I take the skill saw well I guess jigsaw how I cut them out let's say I was going to do this one I would come along this line here with the jigsaw now it hit this spot right here and I'd back up and then I'd curve in like this and cut that and I curve in again and cut that curve in again and cut that that way I have a gap right here where I can put the jigsaw in and cut straight across right here and I have this kind of hole shape cut out and then I come in on this side that just drops the hole don't go because what I've done right here I came in straight and then I backed up and then I cut right there all the way the center line then I cut out those chumps just like that and that leaves it just big enough for my saw blade to fit in just down there like that and then I can cut straight across like I mentioned before all right we're making some serious progress we've come a long way since we came from that string tied to the drill day so anyway everything's uh put together right now well I'm probably going to do is just get some sandpaper and kind of smooth some edges um if you look really closely sometimes there's like little gaps and stuff right there there's one um I bought some caulk and stuff like that I'll probably go through and kind of clean that up just fill the gaps and stuff like that I think it looks BRE darn good just make sure all your cuts are pretty right on I thought it would be you know harder to put the pieces in the farther you got out from the center but it's actually easier to put the end pieces in all right so I just went through um just hit some of the bigger holes and stuff with the bulk nothing too big I guess you could go through and you know hit every corner if you wanted to make it all uniform to me it's not that big of a deal my all my cuts are pretty pretty tight anyway so yeah I was going to go put a base coat on it right now black and then I bought another paint can that's kind of cools this colour changing paint so it kind of goes from black to green just kind of depends on what type of light you're in anyway yeah that's what you get when I you don't have a girlfriend don't live with your mom you can pick your own paint colors alright so apparently you can't paint this thing laying down very well this gray paint doesn't go down in those cracks so I came out here propped it up with the hold curtain from a bath like a little bastard and rod so now I have access to both sides and I'll be able to paint a little bit easier so one thing when you're painting it make sure that the back ends all line up like all these little cross sections so that you're not you don't have you're hitting all the surface area that you're going to have actually showing I'm when it's up against your wall it's like let's say if this board was like an inch this direction then if you painted it when you put it back into place there would be extra showing on this side anyway so I've got all the black paint on just the base coat so I'm going to go ahead and let it dry for a second and then put on the next coat of the colored paint the cool stuff so it took up a cans of spray paint which is a lot more than I thought it would be but we're finally finished so this is what the shelves finally look like hopefully you get kind of a idea for how the color changing stuff works so yeah so that's how you make the shells a guy do now is just mount them it's kind of a side profile of them so yeah so if you have any questions or anything else make sure to leave them in the comments I do put up videos and every week or so so if you like what you see go ahead and subscribe and that's it thanks do things that I would do differently never have to do it over again one is I would probably use a different type of wood I would use the same stencils but dude out of a board that's more you know that's supposed to be made into shells these ones are really hard to fit at a one piece of plywood if you're you if you are going to do that a one piece of plywood make sure that you cut as close to the lines as possible I put them like almost right on each other the stencils so that you know one cut will hit two stencils at some point if that makes sense just because like if you lead even a millimeter of gap between the two even if you have I could super fine pencil it'll it is almost don't even fit so I you know made my word fairy to just a little bit yeah let's come onto the model piece of plywood I heard the other guy who did this he actually took off I believe a centimeter at the bottom which made the entire shelf smaller which is good the shells are pretty huge by themselves yeah those few things are done
