Bookcase and Storage Unit
Thursday, January 21st, 2010I designed and built this piece to hold miscellaneous toys, books, etc. in the little one’s bedroom. I love using 3DS Max to model these things before I even pick up a single tool – it makes doing the real work that much easier (and enjoyable).
Basic stuff here… 1/2″ plywood for the main carcass. And I ripped down some pine into 1×2′s and 1×3′s for the face frame, putting it together with pocket screws first, then tacking it to the front of the piece.
