That’s the spirit

We decided the top of the cupboard we had bought, to become the base of the bookshelf, needed to be cleaned down of any old wax before we started. I’d given the cupboard a good clean when we’d bought it, but we both felt the top would benefit from a further clean. So before Brian got started today he used some fine wire wool and white spirit to take off the old layers of wax.

With that done, he moved on to marking up where the uprights for the shelves were going to go. Trusty laser at hand, he was soon confident that his marks were going to give him the precision he needed.

Originally we were only going to have three book units joined together, but when Brian brought his drawing together with the cupboard, it seemed only natural that it needed four.
