Am Try project

The recess for the cleat has been made, and the mantle has been sanded and prepped. Its time for the stain. You can see the cleat recess in this picture. Ill start the staining process today...

I had a visitor on the jobsite today - see picture below!!!

Ive started the uprights for the bookcase. The assembly is as follows: Each upright needs to be built out wider, so the fluted face trim covers nicely, and theres not too much reveal behind it. So, Ive elected to use some 2x2s and anchor to the ceiling, wall, and countertop, and "skin" both sides of that to build the thickness of the upright.

Here are the newest pics!

Its been quite a while since the last post, but Ive been dilligently working on the smaller details of the project. Some of the larger notable items would be the installation of the base cabinet doors - they look great! We also have the custom glass top and shelves going in, and I will have some new pictures this coming week!
For now, Im working on the two large glass doors that will be located at the display area (originally the closet area). We thought this area would make a neat display area, so to top things off, Im making glass doors for it! The glass needs to be tempered because of the size, and after two weeks, they finally came in! Now I can wrap the glass with cherry, give them an edge, and finish them off! Here are some pictures of the framework...

Its time to install the cherry plywood! Ive started with the area at the bookcase section, and have moved to the area over the fireplace. This is the quick part - the details are yet to come. Here are some new pics!!!
