My New Years resolution is to build and complete more projects than I did in 07.This is my first project for a very nice lady at work.Due to the budget,its made out of MDF and beadboards that are 3/8thick.I know lots of people don't like MDF,but I like it cause its good for painted projects.I did pre-treat the edges first w/several coats of primer before I sprayed the whole thing with primer.Shelves are adjustable and I turn one shelve pin (in the back)upside down to keep the shelves from tilting.Thanks for looking and lets see some other projects from the pros and the hobbies.

Nothing new this year, but like the corner shelf unit. Very nice indeed.

That's a super New Years resolution that I plan to do as well.

Your first project looks great. Thanks for sharing.

That is a great looking corner unit.
That is pretty much what I had in mind to build for my daughter im law.
Did you design it yourself, or did you build it from plans?

Very nice job, Carroll. I like to work with soliod wood, but you handled that MDF extremely well with both construction and paint.

Protect yourself from the MDF dust...

Again... well done!
