    Welcome to the creek, Frank. Glad you found us. That's a really impressive bookcase and a great looking shop. I assume it will break down into sections for transport and installation. Five sections?

    Thanks for the nice comments .Yes it will delivered in 6 pieces .I have been a woodworker for almost 40 yrs. now. The shop is almost 1000sq.ft. in my basement with a walkout and a sidewalk that runs around the house to the driveway ,so everything can rolled out for delivery

    Way cool, Frank.

    Glad you're here. With 40 years under your belt, you should be well-positioned to join in any number of conversations...."been there, done that".

    Looking forward to it.

    Just an organizational thing: You a St Louis Cards fan?
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Somebody should have warned you;
    competent posts are a rare luxury in The Creek.

    Having displayed both an ability to finish projects
    and get paid for your efforts, you will be innundated
    with requests for how to do things.

    You clearly know what you're doing.
    Yet, you have willingly jumped in.

    Willkommen Bei!
