Default [Woodworking] Bookcases

as part of my home office (used to be a BR) renovation, i'm building 5 custom bookcases. four will go along one wall, and the fifth will stand alone on another wall. they will sit on a 4" high base and be 80" tall, making the top 84" (7 feet) above the floor, leaving about 12 to the ceiling. of course, each bookcase has 2 sides that support the adjustable shelves. the shelves sit on pins that go into 1/4" holes.

so today I began. ripped 2 sheets of plywood into ten 9" wide strips, then cut them to 80" long and began to drill all the shelf pin holes.



each side will get 104 holes, 52 in each column. 5 bookcases, 10 sides, 104 holes per side = 1040 holes.

how prescient, i just sent off my quarterly taxes today - form 1040.

so i'm 1/2 done, will do more tomorrow.

pic of holes:

did i mention that there is no AC in the shop? but it is fairly cool, and not bad with a small fan going.
