Rockler makes something like that, but you could find them cheaper on the web probably...http://www.rockler.com/i-semble-heavy-duty-blind-shelf-supports?sid=V9146?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_content=pla&utm_campaign=PL&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8dfJ-Y3E2QIVkLjACh2xewxcEAQYAiABEgKdFPD_BwE

Today is daughter's 39th birthday...seems odd because I only recently turned 39 myself:rolleyes: I planing on cake & ice cream for tonight...hope everyone else here has similar plans and someone gets the cake & ice cream. :P

A year ago Tuesday marks one year since Mom passed. A bitter sweet end of sorts to the month of February.

 

Rest of week TBD depending on the weather...A whole lot of sticks to pick up...re-start diagnostic journey on truck Voltmeter issue; even more clean-up, put-up and organize in the garage than sticks on 4 acres to pick-up I'm ashamed to admit.

 

@John Moody...how awesome it is that your son is following your lead; first by rescuing orphan tools, then putting them to use. Great job on the toy box...now you've got to get him signed on here. BTW, pretty nice job you did on the floating shelves too. What's your plan for finish?

...and I'll eye my, my, my what beautiful work it is too. I can't wait to see what else he has in the works and in his pictorial archives. He just raised the bar a notch or two!

@Ron Dudelston, how did you end up with an extra bookcase? 

Good question Gene.  A couple of months ago I built a pair of 4' X 4' bookcases for a local decorator. I used cabinet grade 3/4" plywood and trimmed it our with native cherry.  When I was picking up the plywood, there was a shop grade piece that I bought at a killer price because it had a bad edge. Knowing my ability to mess something up, I bought the extra piece as insurance and I didn't have to use it.  Therefore, I had a sheet of plywood in my way (You've seen my shop).  Viola', a 32" bookcase was born.  I did change the build just a bit.  I put a solid cherry top on it.
