It's been a while since I updated this. I figure I could use the excuse to explain my lack of progress on my rear disc brake set up. I have a good friend who is a retired cabinet maker. I pestered him a bit and he allowed me to use his shop for a single bookcase project. The next day a real estate investor made him an offer he couldn't refuse so now they are getting it under contract...which is great for making deadlines!! So now I am doing all 13 built in cabinets that I need for the house as quickly as possible....Going to be fitting the doors soon and prepping for finish. The last two shots are some mahogany that I am hopefully going to turn in to my front door.

Nothing like a deadline!!

That's beautiful timber, Chuck.
Wood work is a bit of a hobby with me, so I'll look forward to seeing this take shape.

Thanks Gavin. I am a total novice with this stuff, but it is very enjoyable so far. I may need to acquire some tools to continue this work after my friend sells his shop...

The shelves and cabinets are all made from 3/4" 13 ply baltic birch from Russia. It is really nice stuff!

  I have to delete this thread Chuck... if my wife sees it I’ll be asked to start on her kitchen cabinets and the Front doors.  She wants some unobtainium doors that are light and easy to clean.
I suggested a several huge roll away’s  😂😂😂😂.
 Really nice stock you got there.

The front door is getting closer.

I have to do the mortising and the jambs. Cant wait to see the finish come alive with the clear coating.

After this I have to cut the shelves for all the cabinets and then it is time to paint the Lotus!!
