They will likely be more display cases than books, but the concept is the same. They are identical and will flank a large fireplace.
So far, I have just cut out the backs and shelves, along with the rough shaping of the arches for the face trim.
The shelves are 1 1/2" thick, with a Rift White Oak front edge. This is my main reason for the zero-degree base modification, on the MFK700. I do this kind of thing a lot.
The face frame is a glue-up of segments. Fourpieces with 22.5 degree mitered ends, for each one. In the pic below, both halves are attached to each other. This not only "proved" my angle settings, it also assured me that they are indeed equal in size.
The clamping ears are something that I learned so long ago that I don't even remember where I saw it, but it drew comments from several people, who had never seen it.
They are quite large 65" wide and 110" high, nothing like that under-staircase unit from last year, but still impressive.
