  • Getting ready to spray the lacquer
  • Just got done spraying the shelves
  • Rico spraying the seat for my bookshelves
  • I finally started staining.  The one on the left is the original oak shelf.  The one on the right has a clear oil-based "stain" on it to bring out the grain.

  • A quick/crooked mockup I made of the shelves I'd like to build
  • Some Construction Notes
  • Another design idea
  • The loft overlooking the living room/dining room.  The angled ceiling will be perfect for reflecing sound from the speakers which will be mounted in the shelves
  • The wall with the window is where the bookcase will go (photo taken when the former residents lived there)
  • A bookcase I found online that I'd like to model
  • The top and bottom are perfectly taught, but I got some slight ripples on the sides.  I'm going to give it 24 hours or so to see if they work themselves out.  If not I'm going to try to correct them.

  • The finished 100
  • The screen material stapled to the frame
  • The frame laid down on the screen material
  • The corner of the frame.  You can see the pocket hole joining along with the quarter round along the edges which will ensure the screen never touches any of the frame except at the very edges.
  • I used a Kreg pocket hole kit to ensure strong joints in the poplar frame
  • The screen frame laid on it's side
  • The bottom of the frame
