I finished my book cases today. Delivered them and installed them. I made it a personal point to keep a photo journal of the entire project. I have posted pictures in my gallery, please be sure you check them out. Here is the details of the project. There are some details on each picture you may find useful.
The project is made from:
- 10 sheets of 3/4 cabinet grade plywood
- 4 sheets of 1/2 plywood for the backs
- 4/4 poplar hardwood for faceframing
- 1 sheet of 1/2 MDF for the raised panel doors.
The poplar face framing is joined together with pocket screws, made with a Kreg jig. The raised panel doors were raised on a table saw.
I made the dados for the fixed shelfs with a router and guide jig I made. Adjustable shelf holes made with another jig.
There are a total of 12 adjustable shelves in the upper cabinets, behind the doors, and 2 adjustable shelves in the lower cabinets.
There was one particular challenge with this project. The customer has a fuse box that the 2nd cabinet had to allow access to. I don't have a picture of the finished solution I provided, but it did work very well. This picture will be posted as soon as the customer sends it to me. It is much easier to show than describe. But it is low tech, very functional, and looks good.
I will post the final pictures of the installed face framing when I get them as well. Also, pictures of the doors in place will be posted as soon as the customer finishs painting them and hanging them.
This is the largest project I have ever undertaken. I started it on 11/21, and delivered them today.
Thanks for looking
