Lol, uh, not done. Incoming though!

Well I put this down for a couple weeks while I worked other things, but I'm back at it.

Here it is standing on its own. All the structural joints are epoxied, and the cross bar was added at the bottom. While the epoxy was setting, the bottom shelf support bar rotated backwards, so now it's not level. I'll either have to live with it or shim it, more on that later though.




When I measured for the clearance for the bottom shelf, I measured before I tightened everything. Soooooo, after tightening it was too narrow. Had to notch out each side for the wood to fit between the pipes.




Dry fit. Looks pretty good I think. Tomorrow I'm going to try to spray it. After that, all that's left is to screw the wood to the supports and screw in the bulbs. Almost there!

Thanks! For now, I've placed my shot glass collection that outgrew my old shelf on the bottom:



Classy, I know lol. But I have started collecting shot glasses from every place I travel to that I can get them at. I have them from literally all around the world.
