Dowel or other floating tenon with epoxy would be an option. Thats a hard one to get a strong joint.
The best way would be to dado the shelves into the sides and use epoxy, then the joints where the sides meet is less critical since the shelves would be providing rigidity. Also use at least 1/2" plywood for the back, and glue/epoxy + screws to keep it from racking if you want to get fancy, you could dado the sides into the back as well. It would require precise router work and angled cuts on the shelves, but would end up solid as a rock.

Looks nice! Do you have a hand plane? A shooting board plus a sharp hand plane = perfect miter joints, even if you're starting from a table saw jig.

if you really like deep clean carpets, can't recommend the bissell green machine enough, its bacisically like one of those rug doctors you rent from the supermarket

We have mostly wood floors but the dog always has to find a rug or carpet whenever he needs to throw up or shit in the house, I got one ot the handheld Bissell pet cleaners that looks like an old dirt devil on prime day and it has been a lifesaver.

if its the white 100$ bissell, they rated that as good as the green machine
i actually have both and i can agree with just a simple test of cleaning w/ bissell first then the deep clean and it's practically clear.
of course the capacity in the bissell is like a bottle of coke lulz, so thats where the green deep clean comes in

Went looking for some local woodshops today just to branch out.
1st place had a decent website, nice pictures, price list. Got all ready to head out because they had strange hours, only open Wednesday and Sunday. Looked them up once more to give a call... and their hours are 8am - 12pm. And it was 12:10. Two days a week is strange enough but 4 hours only on those two days? Maybe those hours are showroom only and he runs a full time portion that is for milling then he sells on those days? Need to check in to this.
2nd place has no hardwoods in stock and only orders from suppliers, plus their standard showroom is closed for COVID.
3rd place is open, has nice stock, was recommended by a friend. Their Google Earth pin is about .5 mile away from the actual office so had to drive back and forth a few times. Place was actually nice. Not huge or anything. Sales attendant helped out. Left with about 14 bf of 5/4 Hickory for ~$70, that was with tax and credit card processing charges. They custom cut it to length and didn't make me pay for the extra, only what I took. Really made me want to go crazy with some of the ~$20+ bf stuff they had. It was gorgeous but I'd just butcher it.
Took about 35m to drive out to but I'll definitely be going back. They were awesome.
Now I need to glue up the hickory for the top of a cabinet I'm working on. Also picked up a 5 1/2" x 60" 4/4 Poplar board because none of the Home Stores around me had anything but 3/4" poplar and needed something thicker for the cabinet feet.

Nice I have two good dealers just down the street, great selection and awesome guys, wish I could just buy what I need, if the boards are all 10ft long boards I'm buying all 10ft even if I only need 6 or 8ft. They have good prices though so can't complain too much and I can always find things to make out of scraps.

Yeah the lady that was working had been there for 3-4 years, she admitted she wasn't gonna help me decide if Ash would go with Purpleheart or the expansion characteristics in Arkansas humidity of African Anigre. But she was like "you know I don't -have- to sell you the whole board if you aren't going to use it." They were only 7-8' anyways and just had her cut them to 6' 1" so I'd have some play. And it was mostly b/c 6' +/- 1' is about what I can fit in my CX-5 lol

I’ve been keeping my ear to the ground for a thickness planer. I can’t justify $500 for a nice new one so I’ve been hoping to catch one for $150-$200. I’ve been setting aside some cash each month so I guess if I don’t have one by the time I’ve saved up $500 or so I’ll be able to enjoy a nice dewalt like that!

Yeah second hand will be your best bet then. Will depend on your area how easy they are to find. An old delta would be a goid option, they run forever as long as the motor is in decent condition
