Well I started populating the shelves this weekend and found out I was a few shelves short of what I need to make the maximum use out of my bookcase side. I also think, once I get this done, that I will still almost have a full bookcase to display some of my SW Items. I have my BMF Falcon up there now (will post a new pic this evening of where I am at) and a few SW items I will be sending off (ISY Contest Prize). My bookcase issue is my shelves are very deep and would take double the number of books, but that would mean covering up the set that was on the inside. I am inverting the books a bit to avert that issue now, but can forsee me adding to my book collection. I sure do wish the book companies would go to standard sizes with book dimensions. My pictures will make this a bit clearer and hopefully you folks can give me your suggestions. Still, the great things is that I now have all my books in one place, pretty much organized and alphabetized. I don't know how I acquired so many, but I think its pretty impressive.
I also found out that glass door hinges need to have the pivot hole drilled before you assemble the final face frame. I actually had to tear the front facing boards off the entertainment center side this weekend so I could drill the 9mm holes straight. The drill's chuck was too wide to let you get close enough to drill where you needed so I learned a hard lesson. Thankfully it all went back together well and I was even able to find a nail hole filler (min wax) that works after you finish wood and is smoothed out with a wet towel. I also have the glass dimensions I need so I will get that ordered today and might just be able to wrap up this entire project (sans figuring out what to place where) in a week or so.
