      • Bookshelf project

        First step was to build a very large number of boxes.
        Used 3/4" maple plywood




        Then build a base on the floor.



        Do a test fit of a few rows to make sure everything is copacetic.



        Paint them all white and stack them all.




        Added trim.




        Add books


        I intend to live forever.
        So far, so good.

        • I don't know what I'd do with that many books, but it sure looks good.

            • Kitchen table project:

              We found some nice wood from a salvage yard. Twas a barn door.




              Ran them boards through the table saw to get the edges clean. Used a massive number of biscuits to glue them together.





              Cleaned up the ends of the table with a track saw and then attached the ends.
              Then started sanding and sanding and sanding.




              Filled the nail holes and voids with black epoxy. Then sanded some more.




              Attached legs.




              And moved it into the kitchen




              I intend to live forever.
              So far, so good.

                • Very nice!

                  Do you not own a planer or jointer? Would probably help cut down on the sanding.

                  • That looks great. My OCD couldn't handle that one off-colored plank.

                      Just finished a credenza to match the built ins. Used real walnut for the top. When I originally put the top on it I realized I had made the top rail of the face frame too thick since there was a big gap between the top of the drawers and the walnut top. I took it back out to the garage and cutoff about a half inch to make it look better. Next up is a walnut desk and then the study is done.

                          No.
                          And yes, would have been nice.
                          However, listened to a lot of podcasts while I sanded, so win a there.

                              I figured it would be.
