Bookshelf

[Marvin Keys]

Here are the pictures of my bookshelf. It is 84" tall, 34" wide, and 14" deep. I used dados for the shelves and freehanded the apron contour with a pencil and cut it with a jigsaw. I had a little hiccup with the jigsaw, so the contour is not exactly even, but I though it would give it some character and I didn't have any scraps the right size to redo it...

By the way, that first picture is my workshop, so all you people who think your workshop is big, I have the whole outdoors. One day, I will be building a garage, so that I can actually use my equipment in an organized space.

Marvin,
Great job getting into this stuff. You should be proud of yourself...but don't fool yourself either. A garage won't get you organized unless you do it. I've worked out of all kinds of shop sizes and it's never help me one bit.
Keep up the good work. It's fun to watch...

Looking good, Marvin! (I'm talking about the bookshelf.) As long as the weather is nice, having the outdoors is actually a BETTER workshop, IMHO.

[Jerry Todd]

Good looking bookcase, congrats.

Looks good Marvin. I think I did more projects before I had a more organized shop.

Good job! Looks very nice - good proportions. What material dis you use - also stain/finish?

Well done,

Marvin,

Nice looking book case. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

[Rusty Hughes, Indy]

Very well done!

On that shop do you put the dust collector on the outside and hook up a 6" duct to the whole shop?

Good work.

The material is red oak plywood, red oak banding, and I used a red oak stain.

Very Nice. I, too work outside my shop, but only when the shade is there.

[Mike Schwing]

Nice job Marvin. Your shop floor looks a lot easier on the feet than mine!
