Also, he's using the case comic book storage that his wife had to approve of, ha. The offset frames on the doors reminded them of the frames found on a comic book page. It took me hundreds hours of shop to complete. It was a lot of fun, as everyone here understands I'm sure. Did you end up starting one?

What inspired the offset dividers on the doors. It is a very interesting element.
I too am thinking of building a Barristers bookcase for some collectibles I own. How long did it take you?
