Shelves

With no biscuit jointer in my Christmas stocking, tonight I put up some shelves joined with rather tidy routed lap-joints, which fit together perfectly.

But in 15mm laminated chip board, the joints are quite frankly not strong enough to hold up much. So there is a large piece of skirting board screwed across the joint. Still, once I get them loaded up with junk in the garage, I have a feeling that the joints will suddenly become invisible.
