oh look.  Haven't even started the top piece that's go up  seven feet with  crown m molding and shelves but here's the base unit

  all I gotta do is cut the one shelf  to size and decide  where vertically to mount it  screw on the top trim the side base boards to size ( they all mount with screws from inside)  and  the top is already ready to go with the mount brackets pre drilled and screws started  Oh and  see to the trim under the top.  Haven't decided on that yet and  of course cut the hole in the front baseboard  for the  Beacon Morris Toe kick heater  that I'm installing inside. 

 

The heater will be a HUGE help in the room where this is going.   My home is 250 years old and the main living room in a Monster  built with Oak Pegged and Tenon & Mortise construction and inside the  walls is mortar and rubble so heating the room has always been a challenge.

 

I'm installing the toe kick  heater as its own zone with a blue tooth thermostat and sender.

 

Oh yah the pic  it's about 5 feet long

 

 

Heater idea looks like a nice option.

Very nice and clean Cliff, very nice work indeed sir.

Question, what are those black tic marks at the bottom right corner of the chest? They have me baffled.

The board is  just a scosh long and has since been cut down. Those marks are the lumber producer's marks.  It's some kind of ink.  I'm baffled that they would use it in the first place.

Some times they can put those danged barcodes in the worst place as well!

I did say slowly So the base unit is done but for the last bit of molding around the floor

 

Here it is permanently in place painted with toe kick the heater installed

I gotta do the molding around the base/floor

Mighty fine looking bookcase. I like how the original baseboard ties into the new build.

Great looking book case

That's right nice, Cliff.

Good deal Cliff.  Looks great.

Looks great . Anxious to see the finished product.

lookin' good...

thanks guys.

 

Already looks like it has always been there Cliff...great design...looking forward to seeing more of the journey.

LEMETELLYA  that toe kick heater really makes a difference.   It's on its own zone  and the T stat is wireless so I can put the t-stat anywhere in the room set it and before too long it's at temp.  That room used to be cold in the winter what with all the wall space and the walls insulated with  - - - - MORTAR AND RUBBLE.   Yah that's how they did it.  Kept the wind out I guess.

 

Boy that sure blends in with the rest of the room, you did a nice job, you are right the old plaster walls are not that warm, and create a problem to insulate. I never thought of installing a separate heater, good idea, learned something today.
