White beech bookcase

[chippy1970]

One of my latest builds. A beech veneered bookcase with adjustable shelves on pins. Photo taken on my new toy an HTC ONE , very pleased with it so far.

Looks good. I'm guessing the doubled up shelving are just spares?

Did you make a template to get the tight fit for the corner or just good measurements?

Also, what system do you use for the holes?

Very neat job. No plinth, or is it just shallow and swallowed up by the carpet?

Nice - Lots of holes! :shock: , gone festool for that?

18mm material?

Cheers guys

Yeah it has a small plinth about 30mm but the floor runs out a mile so I trimmed the left unit down lower and packed the right unit.

I had all the parts cut and edged by my supplier apart from the angled bit that I cut out of a spare shelf. It's all domino'd and pocket hole screws. I even used a few domino's on the centre joint to help align the two units. That worked very well , i then run a bead of glue top to bottom and clamped the two units together to avoid any visible fixings.

The right hand end is wider than the rest of the bookcase so I could scribe it to the wall. There's also a 30mm rip on the left which I domino'd to the side and scribed to the wall before fitting.

My board supplier also did the shelf pin holes for me, I was going to make a jig and router them but ended up getting them done.

Yeah those are spare shelves at the top.

Oh and yes the angled bit was a template job, went slightly wrong and there was a bit of a panic on fitting day but managed to fix it with a bit of festool magic :grin:

A very handy supplier no less.

Yeah they're good , I've used them a fair bit now on recommendation from this forum. They're not the cheapest but everything is good quality. Saves me faffing about in my small workshop.

Out of interest....what does a job like that pay typically? And how many days did you allocate to build it? If you don't feel like answering that I would understand

Wrights carpentry, have them bookmarked already strangely enough - possible future supplier, will make sure I get a quote from them come kitchen time.
