I bought those little shelf pins (that hold the shelf up, instead of nailing the shelves to the wall, so tht I can make changes to the shelf position if I desire. I currently hold eight shelves, which barely allow for a Forgotten Realms paperback. I have one shelf extra, not included. The shelf stands 'bout 71.5 inches tall, and is about 36 inches wide.


Didn't think we would care?

Oh yeah....we want details. To echo Rude Dawgs question how did you finish it? Did you build the carcass and faceframe seperately or as one piece? I am willing to hear all the details you are willing to devulge right down to the types of joints you used.

As a parting comment....good for you! You spent less money building a piece that is probably much higher in quality than a lot of the press board garbage they sell out there. No offense intended to press board enthusiasts.

Anytime you want to talk projects, tools, or lumber let me know.
