  Arts & Crafts Bookcase
  

  A great project that will complement nearly any decor; it can be built in a couple of weekends.
   
  Although traditional white oak would be a great choice, we decided that with its exceptionally long and straight-grained appearance, quartersawn longleaf pine lumber was a perfect selection for this Arts & Crafts inspired bookcase.
  
  
  
  

  Harris Lebus Library Bureau
  This eye-catching reproduction piece displays many of the signature aspects of the British Arts & Crafts style, including a chamfered crown, muntins in the glazed doors, gentle arches in the paneled doors, solid sidewalls and splayed feet. It’s an ambitious project with lots of parts but well worth the effort to tackle.
  
  
  

  Modular Barrister's Bookcase
  We’ll forgive you if you have a burgeoning home library-it’s tough to resist the urge to collect books, even in today’s world of instant media and DVDs. If you’re looking for a neat and attractive way to store your volumes, these modular bookcases just might be the ticket. Start with two or three and build more as the need arises. 
  
  
  

  Clamping Station
  

  Organize all your clamps and glue-up supplies within arm’s reach, and enjoy the advantages of the space-saving fold-down clamping table – you’ll never have to scrape glue off your workbench again.
   
   
   
  
  
  
  

  Bat House Bungalow
  Unless you enjoy sharing the great outdoors with mosquitoes, horse flies and other pesky insects, we’d all do well building a few bat houses for more bug-free living. This simple project will keep bats living outside instead of in your attic, and it’s a great way to improve their habitat. You can build one in just a few hours.
