Circle library, horizontal shelves

I have 8 3/4" of library shelf space front to back. To build the shelves, I cut 1/8" wide channels in the plywood wall using the Dremel Trio. The channels provide a sturdy hold for each shelf cut from 1/8" basswood. I started with 1" wide basswood strips and cut them down to end up with a roughly 3/4" deep shelf. I hand cut the angles around the circle supports. Not easy.
The two end boards are slightly deeper than the shelves. For the top, I cut a piece of 1/4" strip wood for stability. Once the ceiling is in, I will add trim to enclose the top space to keep it from being a dust-catcher space that's difficult to clean. The space under the bottom shelf will be enclosed by trim or baseboard in the end, and I left a bit of clearance on the bottom for flooring thickness.
I still need to cut the support piece for the bottom of the circle, but I am tapped out for the night. Next up, covering the plywood back between the shelves and cutting the mirror for the center.
