You can’t see from the front, but the left side cabinet has 2 shelves, just like the big one visible in the middle here, slid in from the back in rounded-front channels, routed with a 3/8" bit, cut 2x, 1/4" apart, for a 5/8" hole, with the ‘widow’s peak’ at the front chiseled out manually. I’m using a board on the front to distribute clamp pressure to the top, bottom, and vertical panels around the cabinet on the front face, and the back face is just pushing the bottom shelf in here. I’ve already glued in the top of the two. This is the final gluing on this project. I left the shelves just a hair long, and will sand them flush to the back surfaces after the glue is all dry here.
