Thread: finished my winter built in project

    Nelson, this is very very nice. Fantastic work and bravo. I particularly like your benches. You have tackled and succeeded at a few things I am gearing up for - furniture quality pieces with nice panel work, your slight inset/reveal on the frame, curve on the bottom frame. Really, thank you so much for posting. You are giving me some courage to move on. :-)

    P.S. To others and Nelson, the book "Built-In Furniture" by Jim Toplin, Taunton Press is a great book for anyone tackling built ins of any type. It has TONS of examples and ideas of all styles, plus some technique covered on the challenge of building along walls that are never straight, plumb, square...

    Thanks for the kind words. I'll look for that book. I have a similar title, "Trim Carpentry and Built-Ins," by Clayton Dekorne, which is part of the Taunton's "Build like a Pro" series. It's got a lot of good information as well. Though I must admit that I have failed at trying cope crown molding.
