My Alcohol Collection and The Shelf

It has only taken me nearly a month... but the shelf is completed. Anyone who saw the original plans will notice that during the cutting and putting together it lost a lot of the complexity... but I still class myself as a carpenter nonetheless. This is me following my granddads path!

The shelf was built partly to be the first non-flat-pack thing I have made, and to hold my alcohol collection! Anyway, here is the shelf, with special thanks to Neil and my dad for the help :D

Okay.. so I could have gave it another coat of paint, but I wanted it to be finished by January... and I was cutting it pretty fine as it was. But look.. it fits perfectly!!

Now for the alcohol collection. I think it is quite impressive, though I'm sure some don't.
