Bookcase for the Challange

it’s got an old English panel feel to it…neat.

A mobile bookcase!!! Why am I not surprised that you would “engineer” something that is unique. :)

Gary, this is a very interesting bookcase. It certainly is inspiring. I really like the curved upper section as opposed to the traditional design. I also like the ability to close it. Aesthetically this makes it more appealing.

Very nice!!!

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

That’s an interesting piece of furniture. The operation reminds me of a traveling wardrobe you’d see in the early 1900’s. Cool.

-- If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a darn fool about it.

Very nice Gary!

An indoor Bookmobile!

This shouldn’t be too difficult to build either way.

I kind of like it without the curves only because it looks better closed. But both look great.

I’m looking forward to your finished project… they always turn out cool.

Nice Gary. It’s got a real lawyers office/library feel to it with the panels. I like the mobile tool cabinet usability you designed into it. Your drawings are crisp and accurate….they look like mechanical prints..right down to the decimal unit dimensioning! Nice work…

Nice entry Gary! Cant wait to see it finished. What is the lumber of choice for this project?

-- A duck that brags on his own pond, soon swims alone.

Hey, isn’t there a Lumberjocks clause that says you can’t win more than one contest in a 12 month period? <grin>

I know we will eventually see the finished project, and I’m confident it’s going to be a beauty!

Jimthecarver – I would use the wood that is always my wood of choice, mahogany.

Don’t know if I’ll build it. I’m actually running out of room in my house for all the things I’ve built.

Great looking book case Gary. Really looks like a winner to me. Good Luck. mike

no room, Gary? No problem—just move it out of the way. It’s on wheels you know (ha oh I am so funny)

I like that the panels are the same for easy production.

Debbie – Exactly where would I move it to? :-)

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

This looks like it is going to be a show stopper – The design is magnificent- it reminds me of a museum piece. I am really looking forward to this project becoming reality. Good Luck in your very industrious undertaking!

This is a great looking piece. I can see it teamed with a rolltop desk (on wheels, too, of course).

-- child of the King, Ephesians 5:22

Your idea of a bookcase on wheels is very novel and the design looks pretty attractive. This model will become very popular in the future constructions of bookcases. Eagerly waiting for the finished product and wish you should win the prize.
