Joe, it looks wonderful! Clean lines, tight joinery, and I like the crown molding and the way it adds a contrasting softness.

Nice!

It's coming together beautifully, Joe. A fitting testimony to your fine craftsmanship.

It looks like the dogs are appreciative, too.

Thanks for posting the update.

I see a problem

I don't see hinges. Unless you have vastly better luck than I, door fitting needs to occur after hinges fix the position of the doors that may be in the neighborhood of where you hoped they would be.

It lookis great, Joe

I always love it when woodworkers include their dogs in their pics. You need to train him/her to always hang around the bookcase. They're a good match.

It figures...

you'd see problems.

The hinges are supposed to arrive today in the mail. I know that I have some fitting yet to do on the doors. I just wiped on one coat to see what it's going to look like. If I have to plane some wood off here or there, I'll reapply. Nobody will ever know.

I tried to turn a couple knobs yesterday and that was an epic fail. Need more practice.

I'll keep trying, but I realize this is not likely making the trip this time.

Thanks guys

I turned knobs and had epic failures until I figured out the "secret". We can talk. Also while I was at it I turned 2 dozen knobs and I would gladly send you 2.

Thanks for the offer. I managed to turn a couple last night that are ok.

What's the secret?

What's the secret?

I struggled until I sharpened the lathe tools to the level of a plane blade.
