Woodwork

I have had a few projects that have been in something that I would consider to be 'woodworking'. Not really the stuff that is a part of the house like the stairs or the deck, but things that are created for their own sake. The first one since I moved into the house would be the picture frames I made for Christmas presents. After that was a box I made out of plywood. I use it for a piggy bank (sort of). Next in the list was... whoa.. actually it was both a christmas gift AND a piggy bank. That's kind of cool.

Taikara moved into a new place and was in need of a bookcase. There was a cool one that was at target but it was 300 bucks. This is one bookcase that is in the same 'line' as the one we saw. It seemed over priced, and kinda ugly, so I got to work and cranked out a plan that matched the layout of the bookcase.

Now I didn't do this all on my own mind you. Kos and Taikara both helped with lots of the work. It was fun to get to make something like this. I now have a good chunk of experience doing tricky layouts and making it look good!
