I’ve been waiting to get to my own closet since we moved in here. The existing closet is like all the other storage in this house. A study in tacky particle board. I started laminating up the first of the panels today. It will be maple panels with sapelle trim to match the rest of the house. Paul Report

Today and tomorrow is cutting to size and routering before assembly. This is about half the cabinets for the closet. Paul Report

July 29, 20251 yr Author Popular Post comment_359533 My wife periodically does me the “favor” of purging all my old work clothes. Problem is it’s always my best stuff. A work shirt that only has a couple of glue spots is just getting comfy. Besides, the glue spots just keep coming. Not like you can stop them. 😎 Report

August 11, 2025Aug 11 Author Popular Post comment_360061 Yes it is. It’s articulated so I can swing it out over the bench or swing it out of the way when I need to use the entire bench. It holds all the tools I use on a daily or frequent basis as well as fasteners. Paul Report
