Completed this for my wife. I made the mistake of showing her a picture from
Workbench magazine or maybe from Woodsmith. Either magazine ended up in the same result...wifey wanted to have one in a spare bedroom turned office. The unit spans a 12 foot wall and will provide here with a lot of space to show off her favorite grand daughter pictures and nick knacks. Turned out --just ok and certainly not my best work. We still need to make the cushions and do a few little things but for the most part my job is complete. Thom |

Very VERY nice.
What a wonderful way to make so much storage space. I can just imagine curling up in the window seat with a good book and a fresh cuppa coffee.... ahhh Kate "Thom" wrote in message ...

I might have routed some detail in the face frame elements to match the window molding, but if SWMBO is happy, what else is there to say. |

It looks very similar to the unit Norm built with the window seat and crown moldings. His was mainly just book shelves. |

Really nice work Thom. I'm jealous. I've been wanting a book/reading
nook like that for years, but unfortunately our current home has no areas for it's like. However, it's one of the things on our list when we search for a new home in the coming new year. So I've got my fingers crossed! I hope you get years of enjoyment from it! `Casper Completed this for my wife.
