I finished my new bookcase this evening....I decided to stop at 2 coats of glossy polyurethane...  I started with a pile of wood panels....  I snipped a little here....some over there.....  I used my Kreg pockethole jig to join it all together....   I then added the trim work....   I then stained it with some light pecan stain....added a couple of coats of glossy polyurethane, and added a luan backing to it.....   I picked a cool wood grain piece as the top....  The finished product....I'll let the poly cure for a few days here in the house before I add the books to it.....  |

I've got one of those big, SLOW, Black Standard models that Britman sold me a few years ago.....but it's in the model car case.....I'll have to work on the Valk books....I think I have one of Daniel's books I could put in it.... |

Stanley I think you have missed your real calling. That looks like a fine piece of furniture. Should last for years |

You said this was NOT political!
It definitely leans a little to the right if you ask me.
LOL
Very nice bookcase.

Looks great.... but I am curious as to how you attached the shelves to the sides? Did you glue the shelves in as well? Oh... and NICE WORKSHOP ! |

Stanley that could be a Good Helmet Shelf or picture shelf for bike pictures. Really looks good. Thanks for sharing your hidden talent. Big Al Power Tool Safety.

I used a Kreg pockethole jig to drill holes on the underside of each shelf....I also ran a small bead of glue on the end of each shelf for good measure...... My little woodworking shop is only 12'x16'......nothing nearly as big as a lot of the ones other members have, but it was fun to build..... |

You have to realize Steamer leans a little to the right so it's all good. Marty |

Really nice work Stan. I'm jealous... I can do rough framing OK, but manage to bugger up anything nice.
Question: How come no stain on the back panel?

I just never stain the Luan back panels.....I'm not real sure how evenly the stain would be on that....  |
