WOODWORKING QUIZ for 7 Dec 04
Good Morning Friends,
If you are building book cases in a modular form that can be stacked one on top of the other, with a door that can be raised and slid back into the case.
What are these bookcases called?
Respectfully,Ralph Jones Woodworking

I believe they are called barristers book cases. Why, I don't know. :confused:
Must be a yankee thing as here all the barristers offices I've been in, and there have been quite a few, have open shelves full with books and even piles of books stacked on every ledge and spare floor space.
No nice neat little barrister book cases.
Peter.

In America, a Barrister is someone who makes coffee with an espresso machine. The glass cases are to stop spills and splashes getting on their books.

Hey, no fair. I answered first in the other thread.
They are called Barrister Bookcases because only Barristers can afford them, they've gotten so trendy.
