I started another oak job yesterday, just a small one another brochure holder but bigger. Got it all assembled yesterday and got the finish on it today. I still have some small removable dividers to make but it is almost finished. Sorry no WIP shots but I was rushing. :lol:
 
Alan,
That looks very nice as usual with your work.

Would you mind sharing the construction techniques and dimensions please?
 
Thanks guys. yes Charlie, it is all solid AWO. I have again used the Domino for this but due to the movement of the wood I only glued the lower ones and slotted the upper ones longer to allow it to move. I had to use the smallest dominos for this as you can imagine. At the base of each of the slots there is a piece of 25mm sq for the bases and these are glued and screwed to each section. I have given the whole item 2 coats of 2K lacquer. I made a template of the side and the positions of the sections so I could mirror them for each side to ensure they all lined up when assembled. This unit measures 800mm x 800mm and is a little over 200mm deep at the base. I will cut two keyhole slots in the rear as this is to be hung on a wall. The customer requested it was to take four A5 brochures on each level and I shall make removable dividers with felt backing to fit in the spaces. HTH. :wink:
 
It is now all finished with the dividers in place.

I have also got rid of the high gloss cabinet too so it's all go for the next project. :D
