    Bookcase

    This bookcase was my first project after buying my BT3100. I had built my wife a nightstand the year before without a TS & decided not to be in that situation again. I completed this bookcase a couple of years ago, but, haven't tried to post any pictures until now.

    The design is a hybrid between an article in Wood magazine & one in Woodsmith. There were parts I liked from both & decided to incorporate what I liked best into one design. The vertical sides are torsion box construction, all shelves are adjustable. The cove moulding was made on the BT. At the time, my first use of a table saw in a while & a lot of "firsts" in general. My first time constructing a torsion box, first time trying cove moulding, first project of this scale. In general, I was pleased with how it turned out.

    That came out really nice, certainly one to be proud of, that's for sure. Those hybrid designs are tricky, though, just getting the plans to match up and figure out how to combine the different aspects is tough.

    Very nice craftsmanship! (but secretly, I'm jealous as how your first project with a 3100 came out.) wish mine was that nice.
