This is my first larger furniture piece and definitely made lots of mistakes between design and execution.
It’s all cherry and designed so one end is a right angle and the top shelf if shallower to fit into the fireplace.
My main power tool is a track saw but I did have access to a wood shop for a day to mill some rougher boards. Otherwise I used hand tools to finish the rest.
I used dowels and track saw cut grooves/rabbets for most of the joinery.
It was a mistake to make it in two sections instead of just having the sides be one larger piece. I also went too aggressive with my new router. Should have made much smaller bevels.

Congratz on the woodworking achievement! But,… somehow a fireplace seems like an inappropriate place for books…
Perfect for sporting Fahrenheit 451
Damn, you got it first. Have a begrudging kudos.
Your username makes me think you used to be a tooth fairy, until you got fired for spreading conspiracy theories to kids. Asking them to question why a fairy needs so many kids teeth.
Um, yeah. Let’s go with that. I’m definitely not the disembodied spirit of a dead and disgraced Suk doctor that betrayed his loyalty to House Atreides and his oath in order to recover his captured wife from Vladimir Harkonnen.
I mean, one of the books has a picture of a cat, and the title “I should pee on this”
Is it removable? Like when it’s winter you can take the bookshelf out and use the fireplace, or is this permanent?
It just slides in, although we may mount it somehow to avoid children moving it around.
