    What I most appreciate about the daily series is that it gives a much more realistic time-frame for how long even a pretty simple project like this takes. All of my projects get frustrating when I’m not done in 30 minutes but the guy on UA-cam built it in a single 8 minute video!!

    Steve, great tutorial, as always. Quick suggestion instead of using the clamp to make the holes:
    1. Hold jig in place, make first hole
    2. Insert metal pin and then no need for a clamp; make rest of holes
    3. Move metal pin to last hole and move jig; make second set of holes
    Also since this is a closet I get why you don't want the holes all the way to the bottom or all the way to the top. For an entertainment center, though, where you might want to position remote control storage, or a sound bar, or cables, you can make lots more holes. (Also for those drill inter-shelf 1" holes in the rear corners for cable management. People like to make holes in the back... and then you have to fish the cable... or center rear... in which case cables are visible between A/V components.
    We're all under lockdown, but you're helping make it much much better. If I was getting paid to sit here during this time I'd up my Patreon support!
    That time will come. Stay safe. Stay healthy.

    YES to scheduling time to work out. I've worked from home for a few years now, and it very much helps to have certain things (such as exercise) set for specific times/days. Knowing I have that coming up helps keep me on track. I also try to make sure I set time to be creative during the day -- even if I don't feel like it -- whether that be woodworking, painting, music, or fiber art, even if it's just 15-20 minutes at a time.
    Looking forward to seeing how the closet turns out!

    Those shades of white start making sense when you put them next to things! A yellow white looks cozy and nice next to wood but terrible next to metal. A blue white on a wall can make some people look ghastly but combines well with concrete and metal. This depends on the undertone, meaning the color which was mixed with pure white to get there. It actually happened to me a couple times that I used the wrong white and my furniture and my skin looked terrible next to it 😂
