2-Toned Wall Unit
Alder wood stained with black lacquered fronts
LED lighting tucked up behind each shelf.
The dividers on each shelf are smoked glass wrapped in a bronze u-channel frame.
Some of the challenges were splicing the shelves together with good seams.
Scribing the 2 sides to the wall, leaving the opening size perfect for the shelves to slide in without cutting on them.
Backs were made in sections so that the glass dividers hid the seams.
Painting the front edges black leaving a crisp line.
It was quit the puzzle to plan and execute.
Although not every bodies style, it was a fulfilling job to finish successfully.

Great looking bookcase and cabinetry. I like the concealed tape lighting and how you built the channel for it. The slideshow video reveals some nice tips on how the pro’s do it.

Wow - very impressive. Too bad your not in Missouri or I'd be asking to come sit in the corner and learn.
Thanks Barb, you would be in the corner a long time, I'm pretty slow these days, and getting slower by the day. lol

I really like that.

None of that Alder stuff though. Quarter sawn Walnut please.

Ok
But you're going to have to pay me 3.00 an hour.
Plus lunch.

You have scribing down to a science. Always a airtight fit up. What was Your method for the invisible seams?
Thanks,
Corelz, Sorry to hear everybody is sick, get better soon.
It depends on the situation, but typically I shim the side in place plumb, 1/2" away from where it need to reside. Then I use a scribe pencil set at 1/2". I rough cut it, leaving the line, then turn it on edge and belt sand to the line. Hard to go wrong if you don't go past the line.
Scribe molding is not in my vocabulary.

I'll have to remember that next time I need to scribe something. Like when a guy told me to cut a floating shelf on a little but of an angle to avoid some sag.
