My first step after cuts...trying out using wood dowels for joinery15 viewsEvery project I have done this year I've implemented a new technique or two to build up skills. This usually means I have a few mistakes as I learn as I go. But I do see progress on the repetitive skills, so that's a good thing I guess. In the photo you can see the holes I drilled. The technique used is wood dowels for joining (butt joinery in this case...I didn't pick the name!!) 2 pieces of wood. I tried it rather than sticking with normal screws. Drill, fill w/glue, dowel expands and dries. Presto!

Laying out the initial cuts13 viewsSome guys like to cut all the pieces at once. Some like to do them sequentially. I haven't found a good method that works for me yet. But I'm starting to like cutting out all the pieces first so I can move to the next "phase" of the project without having to make more cuts.

A little help from my buddy33 viewsMcKinley likes to "help" whatever we do. In this photo he's serving as a living shop-vac of sorts. Until I start cutting or drilling he'll stick it out with me in the garage.

Top of bookcase19 viewsRouted trim, hides some gaps and adds beauty to the project. The plan is to have this done and in the new Pole Barn room in time for Leighanne and Levi to enjoy using it. Should be done well before then.

Almost done17 viewsJust need to add the bottom trim (note the routed edge on the two short pieces still to add), add the back, sand and then finish. It's looking pretty good. The lesson learned is adding trim and rail/stiles helps not only provide stability to the frame but helps hide gap-osis. And I can visualize *every* gap you won't be able to see (and some you will unfortunately). Aesthetically it is shaping to be my nicest project.

Pine bookcase--just needs staining19 viewsAnd the final product. All it lacks is a layer of stain + polyurethane. It looks better than I thought it would mid-project.
