My 18 year old grandson asked me if I'd help him build some shelves that he saw being built on YouTube, I looked at the video and said sure it looks like a neat project.

He went way beyond what the guy was doing on YT. He wants to build 3 shelves, 2 of them 4' x 8" and one 8' x 8" made from 2" thick Myrtle wood. He knows it's a bigger project then what he saw so instead of the 1/2" dowels he bought 7/8" dowels. For the 4' shelves I thought 4 dowels would do it and probably 10 for the 8' shelf.
My question for you is do you think that will be sufficient, or have we bit off more than we should have?
