This is my first completed project! Ana was totally right about it being an easy first. I was a true beginner so I learned a lot! I did not know that a 1x4 is not actually a 1x4, but 3/4x3 1/2! The only advice I could give a beginner like me is to make sure you measure your project and not to just go off of the plans. The plans were perfect, but I did make a mistake that I had to correct without the plans. I have the building bug now! Hopefully I'll be doing many more projects soon. Thank you so much Ana!

That is so true. I thought my first bookcase was so awesome, but now that I have completed more projects the bookcase isn't so great. Fortunately, no one will see the errors like I do. No need to worry about things that no one notices anyway.
