Looks great and as a benefit it is always great to build something with a
lot of useful storage.

And if they miss the look most modern TVs can show photos, so all he's got
to do is take a picture of some paneling.

As I drew it originally it had an optional "bridge", like this:

Seeing it in the uh, flesh, I'm awfully tempted to add it on. It would
be a much simpler project, by virtue of its smaller size.

Easily "hung" between both side cabinets! Maybe even let the center
bridge face frame overlap the side cabinet face frames to hide any
possible gap. I have used this method on 2 or 3 big projects lately.

Yup. These bookcases sit atop other bookcases too. It's always a nice
thing to make use of vertical space in a small house. Thanks for the
kind words.

Thanks. It's all straight lines (theoretically) and no drawers, but you
have to start somewhere. I made plenty of mistakes to speed up the
learning process while I was at it. Intentionally, of course.

Yeah, I may rip that out, at least on that wall, before I install the
bookcases.

Well...
I made a number of changes ion CAD first, which is considerably easier
than doing it on the wood. I had originally divided the narrow units
into three equal sections, and the wide units into four. I liked the
"look" of that, but then I went about measuring our (large) collection
of books and decided I needed more shelf space for the shortest books.
And while I did stick to the planned dimensions, there was quite a lot
of head-scratching along the way and some resulting alteration to the
planned "methods".

Great job, Greg! Now you get to buy a bigger flat screen to fit between
them.
It just looks terrible with that little TV there. At least, that's how
I'd explain it to wife. :-)

Greg, Do you feel any inclination to add a conice between the two
bookcases? Just a thought.
Maybe that is 1960s thinking, I'm not sure.

Whatever you do there, it seems likely to end up as a focal point.
You could even have "a panel with an eagle on it", or something equally
out of the box! Somehow I think another book shelf there would be
a wasted opportunity. I thinkyouhave a perfect opportunity to make it
personal.
After all of your hard work, you deserveit!
