Just prior to having surgery on My elbow,I built this bookcase with angled ends to
relieve some of the clutter the other case was gathering.
It is the same general plan as the other but because of the angled ends and down sizing to 5'
I made a scaled drawing first as I do with any piece I make and still make mistakes.

The top and shelves


The towers back left.



The base that I made 3/4" to tall :D



closer look at the cap.



I finally set it in place this week.So all the junk I removed from the cabinate,that it replaces is all on the floor.
More than half was trashed.I need to get rid of the chair as well.All will be donated to the Salvation Army.
Nothing wrong with them,I just needed more shelves.

Head on view.



Corner shot.



I need to trim shims and install quarter round molding at the base,soon
I've almost finished a desk to replace the Ikea piece of junk.I hope it fits.:D

Thanks all!!!
The surgery was perfect,I am gaining feeling back in My ring and pinkey fingers quickly.
Had some deep scaring that I worked out on My own,it hurt a bit but had to be broken up,no
clinical PT,We are men.When a thing must be done,We do it.
