Here are the finished bookcases and the chest in their home at the top of our stairs.
It was snowing outside so the light coming in the window wasn't very good.
Thanks for looking, this was a fun project.

Hall Table
Well this is a project that I've been wanting to do for probably two years. I finally started it with getting the legs glued up and turned. Here are a few photos from the process.
It's easy to turn one, the hard part is duplicating the first. I have to say, these turned out better than I thought they would. Now I'm trying to figure out how I want to join them to the case.
These are from my phone camera, not that good but they are better than nothing.

Wood River #7 Bench Plane
So here is what my new #7 plane did wright out of the box. All I did was wipe off the shipping grease and adjust the depth of cut, put a zig zag of wax on the bed and went to town. I'm so impressed so far with this tool.
I'll be using these planes on a new project so I hope to get a good feel for them.
I finished the bookcases and will have a few photos of that in a day or so.

Confession
I said I'd nevvvvver put a piece of this furniture in my home but this past week my wife showed up all smiles and proudly said, I bought a chest of drawers from a super store from Sweden will you put it together? I have to now say that I'll be turning in my Woodworkers club card.
This thing looks good until you see how it goes together. I said as I completed it, I will never be putting another one of these together in my house again. I know that projects sometimes take some time to complete but I don't care how long it takes, this is the last piece from the super store from Sweden that comes into this house!!!
