New library almost done, can't wait to fill it with all my books 🥰

I've designed and built lots furniture but this has been the most complex and challenging by far.

In the past I have mostly worked with plywood. For this project I wanted to build out of solid oak and use Japanese joinery techniques. [1/3]

I don't have time to fabricate complex projects these days, and I wasn't confident enough in my woodworking skills. So I collaborated with a local carpenter. This allowed for so many more interesting design details that I wouldn't have thought of myself. [2/3]

Whatever your furniture needs are, consider being a patron of your local carpenters, cabinetmakers, and woodworkers. Yes it's slower and more expensive than going to IKEA but the process is much more rewarding, and the results will be more unique and long lasting. [3/3]

Cool project man ! Inspires me to do more projects in the psychical space with my hands 🙌
