Remember this?

That was my friend Paul’s home office arrangement when he called me over and asked me to consider helping him build a home office setup.  Something with storage, work space and a nice little computer area.  What he had obviously wasn’t going to work.

Well, it’s been about two and one half months, and, we’ve gotten to…

Hold on, that’s the Finnish line….

Nah, that’s the finishing line…

That’s it!  We’ve gotten to the finish line… and boy, does it look good…

The doors are in, the drawers all work and the book shelf is ready to be loaded up. Paul and his wife spent a lot of time with the finish – Waterlox on all of the panels that are cherry plywood and Danish oil on all the solid wood doors and drawer fronts. The computer desk and the CPU tower cases are grommeted to allow the cables to run without snaking all over the place.

Even with the sweet finished  product staring me in the face, there was something I enjoyed a whole lot more than getting this one completed.

It was the fact that Paul and I were able to work so well together and both of us were able to learn a tremendous amount about cabinetry. Oh, and I got to meet and work with a hell of a guy…

Now, time to clean up the shop, get everything sharpened, and start thinking about the next project.
