IowaJunkGypsy writes: Wow- This is great - and Candy is right about the remotes- so clever. I am making built in book shelves for our library- it would be neat to find one to put under the window seat, now wouldn't it? I'll have to keep my eyes peeled now! Posted: 1:51 pm on November 26th

Dewey13 is new to the site so I don't have any scoop to give you other than this amazing project. This one is really thinking outside the old card file drawer. Congrats on a job well done! Can't wait to see more.

Take care,
