As the old saying goes - The shoemaker's children never have any shoes... Evidently this proverb holds true for woodworkers too. I am always so busy doing work for customers that I don't have time to do projects for my own family. One such project that is on my to do list is a pair of bookcases that my mom has been asking for for quite a while. I hadn't thought much about the project until I was out for a quick bike ride one evening and saw a set of four pockets doors sitting by the road. I looked at them and my imagination started cranking. By the time I had ridden home I knew they would make a great pair of bookcases. A trip back in my trusty Jeep and I had two bookcases (a set of pocket doors) on the Jeep's roof.
I'm going to use the doors as the sides. I'll add a top, bottom and middle shelf (let into a dado). Movable shelves will be added in between and I'll finish it off on the top and bottom with some crown and base molding.
Maybe those bookshelves will get done after all (at least maybe a little sooner). To be continued....
