Also very cool shop!

P.S. Finally. I found a guy that's a little older than me (at least a couple months) on the Forum! At least someone that's willing to post his age.

As long as I can reach the power switch, and stand, or roll to the side, I plan to keep on making sawdust.

PS. I had a stroke in Dallas about three years ago. It has slowed me down some, but I am going to learn new ways to get around the shop.

Nice work, Clement. I am so glad that you have joined the group here on the forum. Looking at your Barister, it is obvious that you have a lot to offer. That is beautiful work.

I see by your profile that I have now been bumped down to at least third place in this group of "older wood workers". I just hope that six years from now I am turning out something that looks as good as the Barister.

Clement, nice work and a valuable lesson for all of us. As I am attempting to rehab a shoulder that may never get better, some family members and friends are asking if I really intend to continue working in my shop. Your pictures served me well. First they prove a man can still live his dreams. More importantly they convince me I can do a better job on Barrister Bookcases then a set we bought nearly 15 years ago. Likely I will never build them as well as you do. Good luck as you learn new ways to get around in the shop. I am more convinced than ever that I need to find my third 520 fjimp:D

Dusty. I want to say how mush I appreciate guys like you. I have been reading many of your posts for the past few weeks, and people like you have given me the encouragement to get the old SS out of the unused department and tune it up and see what it would do. Keep up the good work, and keep encouraging new members like me, Thanks again.

New to the FORUM maybe! You obviously can contribute A great deal to it.

Nice work. The craftsmanship jumps out in the photos. Beautiful finish too

Wonderful job, Clement! Woodworking can be very therapeutic. A fellow of your experience is a valuable asset to any group; I am glad that you have chosen to be in "ours".

Thank you for the kind words, Clement but you are the encouragement. It is so easy to sit back and say I can't do that anymore. It is much harder to learn new ways of doing what you have always done.

I spend a lot of time studying the photos that are posted here. What I see in yours is not only some fantastic craftsmanship in the bookcases but a very clean and neatly organized shop. Keep up the good work, man. Know that you are always in my prayers.

Clement,
I just found this thread. Did you build the bookcase in sections (bottom and then top)? Great work..
