    These folks help me keep working on trash picked stuff in my basement: www.patreon.com/wordsnwood
    Being factory furniture, these are kind of like the 1900 version of Ikea, right?

    I've had one of these with 3 shelves for nearly 50 years without realising that it had become collectible. It has survived several moves in that time and still looks great in our living room here in France.
    Your work is inspiring as usual and just within my comfort zone. Thanks.

    GREAT project Art. While you were not trying to "match" the modules, it's the attention to the little details that made it come out so good. Every Art video is a tutorial - thanks and now it's time to say Happy Holidays! !! !!!

    As usual, great project video. Your attention to details & explanations are fantastic. You are one of the VERY FEW YT'rs left that still create & put out furniture build projects & woodworking. WAY too many nowadays are posting toold reviews, how to make money, top 10 tips, ect. Thank you for continuing to produce WOODWORKING content.

    Another good video. I especially liked your method at 18:01 of using a long board to get a crisp bend.Always something to learn from your videos. Thanks!

    20:08 “ are they good enough?……you bet they are!” Amen to that. Looks really good Art. It had to be so satisfying to use repurposed material to improve a salvaged piece.

    Looking at that door hardware, you should be able to recreate it. I'm a woodworker myself and love when I have an opportunity to do some metal working.

    Art, there is a way to make a barrister bookcase door that functions the same way with only a router and a few metal and wooden pegs. Maybe you already know that, but I made a 5 stack case doing it that way.

      Do you have any issues with the doors racking? That is what the scissor mechanism on the Globe-Wernicke brand is designed to prevent, and it works great.

    Instead of aluminum, brass shim stock from the hobby shop would have aged to match exactly. Just saying. :)

      Probably a good idea, but is that available in any decent thickness?

      @@Wordsnwood - 'shim' might have been a bad choice - you can get 1" strips at just about any thickness - AVF Hobbies on Dundas should stock them.
