A local dentist's office needed a large chart rack. This one will be 72 in high and have 16 'pockets' for charts.
The structure is 1x6 plain-sawn red oak with 1/4 in red oak ply for the file pockets and back. In order for the 1/4 in panels to fit cleanly in the structure, I routed an L shaped slot for the front and bottom, then chopped out relief for the cross members -- pretty simple, but very strong.
I had to make a little sled for the router with an angled fence,,,the rest was just time, and a little dust sniffing.
The dry fit of parts was sucessfull, just need to round over edges of three uprights, sand the whole thing and glue 'er up. This will be very rugged and resistant to collisions from office residents. The finish will be satin urethane over a light stain.
Glued with a caulking gun which made distributing the adhesive in the little dados quick and clean. To finish up, relief was routed in the bin fronts, stained with MinWax Golden Oak and two coats polyurethane, satin.
