I personally need to make a drawing of a project to get a good idea of what the materials will cost. It also might be a real nuisance for your contractor to "bump-out" this bookcase. I suggest that you contact a local contractor and have them come out to assess your situation. Joe Hi Kristi,

The bookcase is 58" wide. I would like to remove the lower shelves and add a closed storage area to the bottom portion of the built-in. The new "cabinet" underneath would bump out 6 inches from the existing outside edge of the bookshelf. My idea is have more storage inside and to provide a larger surface on top with a counter. I plan to paint the entire piece when finished. What would a small project like this cost using lesser expensive, but eco friendly wood? I have not met with a contractor yet, but was curious what you might have to say. Thank you for your help! Kristi Hi Joe

I would really like to buy one of your eco-friendly, bamboo shoe benches. We live in NYC. What would be the price? Thanks. Allison Hi.

There's nothing more annoying than having to search your shop for a lost digit and then waiting in a hospital for them to try and re-attach it. Oh, I guess getting the bill might be more annoying...

Especially the last line. I don't know... so many woodworkers are so damned macho about using protective devices. I especially find the putting on and taking off of the guard on my saw to be a real pain-in-the-ass at times. One time I told Christine that everything I did that, it kicked ten minutes in the ass. Her reply was, "How long does it take a surgeon to re-attach a finger?" OK, so now you know the reply feature works on this site too. Nice blog, my man. Especially the last line.
