Love hearing from customers and seeing their amazing work!

Lee,
I finished this project back in May. Just now getting around to sending you a thank you. The hardware is well built. The spreadsheet, pdf instructions, and the videos made the whole project pretty simple. I'm a wood worker and I build lots of things. This is the coolest project I've built but I can't show it to anyone.

It's always a treat for me to see a finished product from a customer. Great job, Andy!

Just thought I would show you the bookshelf/door that went into my old house using your hardware. I used my own in my head build plans for a design so I had to adjust given dimensions from your plan... It worked great thanks. Now to paint the couple pieces of trim to match the gray wall and someday fix the old door trim or maybe leave the old stuff alone cause it has a character. Anyway Thanks!!!!

I sooooo appreciate this kind of helpful feedback. Great work. Thank you, Dennis!

Lee,
I got the bookcase built and installed today. I started with nice birch plywood yesterday but it burred badly using the decidedly rough woodworking equipment my contractor had on site of our old house renovation. I switched today to regular ole common board with five fixed shelves (the door frame to this small upstairs dormer room is only 70" high) since that was easier to use with what tools I had available and it in all honesty matched the 100-year-old house decor better. The reason I'm emailing you is I discovered a way to anchor the base using one screw. This house has all original hardwood floors but I didn't want to use a base nor did I want to router it out so while I was at the hardware store yesterday morning I found a steel spacer that fit perfectly in your brass bushing and found a big countersunk screw (I think it is a #12 sheet metal screw I can't remember) that the head was just wider than the inside of the spacer so it could hold it down tight but still narrow enough to clear the bushing. That way if I needed to adjust it was just one hole. Luckily I found the right spot the first time. We'll see how it holds up over time but it seems really strong. I'll update you with more pictures after the house is completed and the bookcase painted.

That's a fender washer under the spacer so it would dig into the wood. Your washers and needle bearing fit perfectly around the spacer.

Thank you!
Dennis
