Did this over the nice weather bank holiday.
For my first go at woodworking I'm pretty happy with it.
Thanks to those that helped (general tips, recommendation of kreg accu cut, new blades, and joining help)
The sides, bottom and back are glued together and dowel covered screws. The top is just 4 dowels at the minute so it can be popped on and off to make it easier to attach to the wall.
Debating whether to give it a really solid sand and then an oil or just leave it. I was going to just leave it but the dowels don't match as well as hoped (should really have done a practice job).
I got a bit of scorching from the groove, not too sure why, probably pushing with the accu cut too much.
Going to keep an eye out for a cheap router to do the edges too.
Weighs 4.6kg so by the time a bike is on it will be pretty heavy so will need to find something sturdy to attach it to. None of the planned walls are painted yet though so will come to that much later
