Still, as big as it is, it looks great Fred! It looks like you used shelving standards, is that correct?

Very nice looking Fred. Yup it is LARGE! Did you fasten it to the desk and how if you did?

 

[jeff...]

Hey Fred that nice now and LARGE for large grand kids... You say that's 2007 NCWoodworker Picnic wood - does it still smell like BBQ?

Very nice looking Fred. Yup it is LARGE! Did you fasten it to the desk and how if you did?

I added some cleats to the inside of the outer uprights. the uprights overlap the side by 7/8" so the cleats are mostly invisible. I added some screws to these to fasten it to the desk top. when finished its all one piece.it rocks a little but its sitting on carpet with thick pad. it will settle down in a few days. its heavy enough that it aint fallin over!:gar-La; LOML has it mostly full already. imagine that!:rotflm:
