Today’s progress on the library. I got most all of the cutting done, and assembled the pedestal base and the rail. Next up is assembling the lower uprights and running the Ethernet. Then pulling the trim, installing the actual shelves, trim and paint.

And at some point I’ll get the ladder installed.

So many crosscuts!

The pedestal is made of 2x10, with cross members to support the cabinets. The pvc is conduit for Ethernet.

The rail frame is the same, just out of 2x4.

Cleaned up shop at the end of the day.

Sweeeet! Nice work. & Thanks for sharing it with us! I look forward to seeing more updates, if ya feel like sharing. This type of thing is so neat, but I'm not able to do it myself, so I kind of live vicariously through people like you who share it with others. So, thank you! :)

Thanks! After a day to rest and clean up, I’m spending today install the base and left upright. I’ll have an update when it’s done.
