As I mentioned on our Facebook page, we at C.R.L. Construction have been working on a particularly interesting and somewhat difficult project and it was just recently completed. A client had asked me to build them a unique piece in place of a door for a small room that housed all the cables from their AV set up. It was mutually agreed upon that we would try a book case that would swing out so they could still access the room behind.
Initially I thought this would be a fairly straight forward project; build a bookcase, put it on hinges, use a ball catch to keep the door closed and ta-da, all finished. But things didn't end up working out quite the way I had planned. It took about 2 days to build the actual book case, not including the face frame. That part was easy. The installation, however, was a challenge. I just couldn't seem to get the door to swing the way I wanted, or with the aesthetic I was looking for. After some trial and error (and re-crunching numbers) I finally figured it out.
So here is the final project, framed in and ready to go. All thats left is for the home owners to paint and it will be all set. (Click here for a video of how it works:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn8aq8negSA)
If this project is something that would interest you for your own home, please feel free to contact me. I truly enjoyed creating this custom piece and would love to create something for you!
