Description
It’s back to basics in this one as I talk you through some recent alcove shelves and how they were designed to be simply screwed together onsite with no visible fixings - and no fancy joinery systems either!
I used Shapr3D CAD software to design and plan this project - let me know if you'd like to see the 'Absolute Basics of CAD' in a video!
I bought the materials for this project from MDF Direct; use offer code 10MW20 at checkout for 20% discount, valid at https://mdfdirect.co.uk, https://plydirect.co.uk, and https://mfcdirect.co.uk
