DIY Porch Shelf

A few months ago my mother-in-law asked me to help her sell a few items.  One of them was this planter shelf her father made for her years ago.  I posted it on my facebook page and had quite a few people who wanted it.  After selling it to the first one to ask I offered that I could custom build a similar one for others who were interested.
Here is the tutorial on how I build mine. 

I bought 8ft 1x2's.  I cut off 10"  and cut what was left in half (about 43").  Then I cut a 2x2 in half.  I used the 10 pieces as spacers.

I was going to buy the lathe boards that are already cut to a point but I had a ton of 1x2s already so I used them instead.  I used a square to mark my angle, and a circular saw to cut them.

I used 1x2's on the back to hold everything together.  I attached them with wood glue and a brad nailer.

Then I built brackets for the shelf by using my square again and the circular saw.

I attached them on the inside of the 2x2 with wood glue and the brad nailer.

After attaching them I measured for each shelf individually.

Then I nailed on the shelf with three holes from the top and one from the bottom.

Then I took the pieces I had cut, plus I cut a bunch more.  I attached the front ones with two boards on the back and the sides with one.  Spacing them so that they would fit like so...

I sold this one unfinished so the customer could paint it however she wanted!

I am not really good with D.I.Y or do it yourself stuff, but that is why I am here. I want to learn from the best, and the internet says that you are clearly the best. If I can go and learn from you, then I would definitely be happy. I understand that it is a tough task to manage, but I am all for it. I hope that I can work with you for as long as I can.
