    I reckon this piece is more like a work of art in wood than a book shelf or a cabinet. Maybe someone with a very expensive watch collection would want it to display them in this. The added lights would make it work well. Or possibly some ridiculously expensive ancient artifacts; Chinese rice bowls that cost a couple of million pounds each displayed individually on the shelves. I just hope whoever buys it treats it with the respect it deserves. Great vid. Big thumbs up. 🙂🙂🙂

    Working with UV almost every day, I have two recommendations; 1) Wear UV blocking glasses. Even short exposure can lead to uncomfortable itchy eyes and other transient (but not permanent) discomforts 2) Determine the wavelength (in nm) of the curing light. Odds are, there is a cheaper alternative that's marketed as germicidal or used for curing finishes in other fields (for example UV cured windshield chip repair, or UV cured 3d printing, perhaps germicidal UV, etc). The light you're using looks pretty lavender, which is closer to the far end of the UV spectrum

      Oh dear goodness! So way back in 2010 I went to a DoD police academy and like many others there I was both prior service and prior MP. One of my classmates was a recently retired Army CW3 CID agent. The subject came off classes we’d attended and CID attends a lot of the FBI classes. For his forensics the agents egged them into asking the instructor about “the dress” because she was the principal technician who had worked on it.
      The long and short of it was that she could confirm that Wild Bill’s sample was on the dress, along with something like 4-6 OTHER donors whom had also been identified but she was not allowed to disclose.
      So apparently it really was her party dress!

    I think the copper would have looked SUPER GOOD if instead of just doing bright bare metal, you'd burnished, oxidized, or tarnished it. It really just needed to be a little darker and have some variation in the colors. That being said I think it turned out extremely well. It's a very pretty piece, one that I would be happy to have in my home... if I had anywhere near enough money to be able to afford your pieces lmao. If I might make a suggestion: A matching floating enclosed bookshelf or record shelf that could go on the wall above it or nearby. Something with half the depth and height perhaps. I think that would look SUPERB.

      Agree on credenza. Gotta say that the hammered blued steel backing is an excellent choice to contrast the walnut. It looks stellar in a kind of retro-futuristic way (think how the 60's saw the future).
      It would look right at home in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

      I think that you could've used a liquid instant patina on the copper sheets to make them that reddish-brown of old pipes and pennies. Just re-pound the copper with the bigger hammer. After all of this hand sanding you now have arms of steel.

    This shelf unit is stunning! I watched the whole project over a few days. You actually got through that sanding ordeal!!! I’ve sanded a few things before and hated it. I don’t know how you managed to stay with it. Your design is very beautiful. Even though it has simple lines, it’s very complicated with all those pieces of wood and rounded angles. The shelf unit is smooth and so very elegant.

    I'm a lifelong woodworker. Had my own cabinet shop for twenty years. You and Izzy are my favorites. You don't mind showing the frustrations of woodworking as well as the satisfaction of incredible imagination. You've managed to do what most of we oldtimers wish we could have done, build things we WANT to build. Most of us spent a lifetime building boxes that become someone elses kitchens.
    You asked for suggestions of what to do with the acrylic waterfall bent table. Well ... my suggestion is to hold an auction and donate the proceeds to Tunnels to Towers or some other non-profit helping our veterans. I think that might solve the issues you mentioned being concerned about what to do with it. No, I am not a VET. The draft ended the night before I was to report for active duty at the end of the Viet Nam war. I've always felt like someone had to take my place. So ... that's my suggestion. And...
    Keep doin' what your doin'.

This was just another level of hard work. And the results were amazing. This channel is great. It has inspired me to fill my garage with native timber over the last couple of years for that "one day" project.
