    Default WIP book cases

    I am currently building a set of book cases for #1 daughter and I thought I would post it.

    The whole thing is to be made out of Vic Ash, I recently recovered quiet a bit of 100x 35 that was milled sometime ago and was being disguarded.


    I recut some with my new BP355 bandsaw (christmas present from the Dragon) and then put through the drum sander to @ 8mm.

    the carcass is 1800 x 50x30 which is dowled and has 8mm rebate which I have inlaid with the 8 mm panels.

    Disguarded- so you stole it when no-one was looking?
    I like your use of panels, I'm rather fond of that style of construction myself. Also of using discarded materials.

    Seems to me that you need to get more people involved as you seem to be in the right place at the right time for the wood that you have aquired.

    Finally got some time to assemble one unit, it was a bit tricky lining it all up but it went together without to much drama.

    I fitted two corner blocks to keep it square and cut the stock for the shelves.

    I have just sat these in, Hopefully I will get time to glue them later this week. (off to the cricket today)
