Wall Unit Project #1: Wood Gloat! Weekend Progress

Wood Gloat:

My truck can barely carry this pallet.

124 pieces 23”W X 41”L of A-1 Maple and Red Oak Veneer on 3/4” PBC


From a local furniture company liquidating assets after bankruptcy.

Bargain basement price of $100 for the load.

I picked this up Friday during my lunch hour.


It took an hour and 45 minutes to unload this once i got it home.

Okay, so the first 40 minutes was cleaning a space out in the garage. Still, 1:45 wore me out before dinner.

So, what to do with all that plywood? First up—the Family Room Wall Unit


BEFORE:



Some ratty old bookcases and a yard sale table were just getting by and are ready to be replaced with a nice built in unit.

This was taken Saturday morning almost 10am. Before taking this down, we needed a game plan and a drawing.


DEMOLITION TIME:



My wife got busy moving books off the shelves and we took the cases to another room where they got set up again. Okay, no actual demolition took place—just re-arranged things.



The dog wasn’t quite sure what to make of this disruption to his kingdom. I’m sure he thinks we’re crazy.
