DIY Built In Closet

Homeowner and I'm DIYing a built-in closet. Building the shelves. This is my first woodworking project and so far, I don't think it looks that bad. But it's a big day today, so I started off finishing up some of the cleats and then I spent the rest of the day cutting all the shelves and all the tops for the entire closet. So I am using a Festool TS 55 track saw to cut out all of this wood. Use whatever's in your budget. This one is a little bit more on the expensive side. We just already had these tools given to us by woodworking in the family who just can't woodwork anymore. I got all the shelves cut and I'm just checking to see how they fit and make sure I get the go-ahead from the property manager. He likes it. He's approved. So I took out all the shelves and I'm putting pocket holes into each end of the shelf. This took literally forever. I made eight holes for each shelf and there was a lot of shelves. So after that was done, I cleaned up a little bit and I put the shelves back into their spaces and screwed them into the side panels with pocket screws. Looks good to be. So I started putting the top panels on the whole entire closet and I just around and secured them to each other. I realized I never showed you guys the corner of the closet. So I'm basically doing a kind of like a corner shelf. They were so hard and they were just a pain in the ass and I promise you I'll never do them again. Please hire a professional because I don't think they came out that good. We lost our light in the closet, of course we did. So I had to bring out my ring light. So now we got to fill all these holes I bought this wood filler that you can actually sand down before you paint. I'm gonna give this lots of time to dry and then head to those for some trim pieces.
