[Not sure why my first post didn't show. I apologize if it is a
repeat]

Beautiful work. Some non-standard detaails but that shows you ar an
innovator.

Critique:
1. Hint: You can easily make a temporary zero clearance for the
bandsaw to stop backside chip out.
2. The two ways you leveled the hard edgeband were neither my
favorite.
- On router table kind of dangerous and inaccurate doing tall
pieces like that without an additional fixture
- Flat fly cutter method is not great, just too easy to gouge out
and just not typical wood practice
- I use slots and splines. Do a tightly controlled (feather boards)
to make the slots indexed to the top face. Then splines. You can just
sand the top and leave the bottom proud
3. Notching on the table saw like that, tall piece on miter gague,
even with an extended fence is kind of cowboy. Lots of really bad
things can happen. If you are making videos you need to consider your
liability and that is not super safe, moving that fast with no
secondary method of keeping that board from falling forward or kicking
up/back except your (flesh hands) which could be easily followed by
your (flesh) face, etc.
4. Good practice to allow for expansion on the top but what about the
bottom shelf? It could expand and cause problems in a few seasons.
Hopefully it will just pop off your cute molding, but maybe this is a
case for a few brads to keep them in place, although that could be the
least of your worries.
5. Excellent fixture/sled for mitering the moldings and the pencil
with the non-slip erase is an excellent little innovation.

How about painting it to look like wood?

Thanks for the videos. In watching them, I found an answer to something
puzzling me about a current project. Of course, I can no longer
remember what that answer was -- but let's hope I internalized it and
will incorporate said solution...

What is the trade name of the wax resist you used to minimize glue clean up?

Lovely case, and the best use of exercise equipment, too!

Thanks Leon. I agree with you with the back shelf adjustment holes.
My wife suggested that AFTER I made the holes. :)

Beautiful work. Some non-standard details but that just proves you are
an innovator.

Cool video.

- You can create a (disposable) zero clearance base for the bandsaw
pretty easily to kill backside chip out.
- Not sure I like either way you leveled the hard edge on the shelf.
On the router table a standing piece like that is not fun, safe or
accurate per se without some jig setup. The face milling concept with
the handheld is also a little iffy. I use a precise setup with
feathers to cut kerfs in the ply and use splines. Then they are close
enough to one side that you can just sand them, leaving the underside
strong.
- The notching on the table saw again was kind of cowboy. You really
should have some better setup, maybe a sled. I can tell lots of ways
that ends badly and if you are making videos you may have some
liability.
- I didn't see any thought given to expansion at the bottom. You "may"
learn that you needed some over the years
- Nice )safe" jig for cutting the modling miters.

Bless you, my son, for not putting bloody Wild Cherry stain and Poly
on the poor thing. Looking spiffy!

Interesting pegboard corner design for the shelf supports. Clean.

You just scared the absolute SHIT out of me, Brian. When you wiped the
dust off the unguarded, spinning jointer table, with your entire flat
hand just inches from the blades, my nutsack crinkled as the boys went
up inside to hide from the gore. Shame on you! Dust before starting
the jointer, but I hope you use a shop brush (or air gun) for the
task. It's much safer. </nanny> (4:25 into the VI vid)

Looks great!

Two things though that I consider to be over kill and one item that I
would have changed.

1. No need to glue and screw the bottom shelf in, one or the other is
enough.

2. The molding around the bottom shelf draws your eye away from the
rest of the unit and kinda sorta looks unfinished with the abrupt stop
at the front, too busy for an other wise elegantly simple shelf unit.

3. I would have placed the back shelf adjustment holes parallel with
the back/front so that they would be less noticeable.

Other than that the unit looks well balanced in stock sizing and the
wood looks great, better yet in a couple of years.

If I had one criticism, it would be that the holes for the shelf
adjustment would be less noticeable if they were in the sides of the
rear supports rather than the front. On the other hand, you could use
those purdy little brass cups and use it as an accent feature. Once
the unit is full of stuff, it will probably not even be noticed ... it
only stands out when empty.

Oh ... BTW ... NICE JOB !!!

You could also go old-school with the sawtooth shelf supports

I actually don't have a problem with the holes.
They would still be visible from the side.

Nice. Clean work that doesn't try to outdo the wood
is always the best.

My wife actually came up with the same 'criticism' after I made the
holes <sigh>. I might implement that suggestion next time. Thanks
for looking!

Nice build. Construction is classic, but you can never go wrong with a
build like that. Nice clean lines, destined to be an heirloom.

You know, I just thought of a way to get over the holes being on the wrong
side of the back support.

Get a piece of hardwood, at least 6/4 stock, and use a drill press to drill
a set of holes, just like the pattern on it now. Use a couple screws or
stiff legs to secure the new pattern piece on the side of the support, where
you want the new holes to be. Get one of those flexible screw bit holder
shafts, you know the ones made out of a covered spring, of sorts, and put a
hex shaft end drill bit in it, and drill your new holes. Rough up the side
with the old holes, and cut and sand one side of a super thin piece of
cherry, and use it as veneer to cover the wrong holes.

Might be a bit of work, but it could well be worth it to the OP.

Gorgeous piece of furniture, the grain is awesome! In two years it will
be even more spectacular.

Well done!
