Hi,
I have been asked for quote to turn a cupboard door into a bookcase but still opens so the cupboard can be used but its hidden,
The current door is standard panel door 30"x51" which is about 2 feet off the floor Opening outwards, The customer doesn't want any arcs on it just wants it to look like a bookcase built it.
I was thinking of making a bookcase out of 18mm ply with a leading edge built into it, Ripping out the exciting frame and usinging some 6 x 1 the shelves are going to be 6 inches deep.
Has anyone else ever done one like this? I'm concerned about the weight of the thing when its filled with paperbacks,
I'm not sure if its worth trying to get hold of some heavy duty piano hinge or just use a few butt hinges,
any suggestions welcomed as i never done this before
Cheers
