Upside Down

Today, I completed the bookshelf headboard, the last component for our new bedroom suite. It is shown clamped upside down to a dolly, which has allowed me to move it around the shop. It is, no doubt, the largest piece of furniture I have ever built, and the main construction challenge has been dealing with the weight of over 200 pounds while working alone. When the kids visit next weekend, I will enlist their help to move this behemoth from my shop to our main bedroom and set it on the nightstands that will support it. All that remains to be done is to connect the built-in reading lights to their respective controls and power supply.
