I built 2 oak plywood bookcase/cabinet units for my mother-in-law
over the Christmas holidays.  I used the plans for the plywood
bookcase shown in Woodsmith a few years back and just adjusted
the width of them to fit in the spots where she wanted to put them.

I'm building a solid oak bookcase, armoire, and bed for my son.  The
bookcase and armoire are finished and I have the wood for the
bed but I haven't begun gluing up the blanks for it yet.  The bed
sets
on top of the bookcase and armoire (one on either end) to make a
loft bed.  But I made them so that when he gets older and doesn't
want a loft bed anymore, the bookcase and the armoire can stand
alone as regular furniture.

I took the cutoffs and scraps left from bookcase and armoire and cut
out and glued up blanks to make the cabinetmaker's tool chest shown
in the Woodsmith issue I got last week.  My wife wants to store all
her
craft supplies in it (she's very crafty : -)

I've enjoyed this thread and hearing about what everyone is working
on.
