Here we have a very rare sight indeed:
A herd of wild bookcases in their natural
habitat. You can also see in the corner a few hope chests have joined them, but
bookcases aren't the friendliest of furniture pieces, and generally like to be
left alone. Many people have successfully managed to tame bookcases much like
these and keep them as pets, but I strongly recommend that you do not attempt
this; it is best to buy one from a reputable dealer/trainer of wild furniture.
Here one of the bulls has gotten away from the herd and is alarmed at the
photographer's presence, as evidenced by its change in colour and the aggressive
display of its shelves.
Here we see the wild shaker table. It is a fairly docile and solitary piece.
Here it is unusually close to the CNC; its usual range is near the in-line
ripsaw, between the oak lumber pile and the spray booth, though occasionally it
will venture up past the moulder almost as far as the radial arm saw.
We come finally to a lone hope chest. This one was orphaned at a young age,
and Mike has been working with it for some time, and has nearly tamed it. Hope
chests are not typically agressive, but they are heavy and can cause severe
injury if you trip over one in the dark, or stub your toe against it.
