Bookcase Door

This book case is a sliding door. It is about three inches thick. The skirting on the bottom is open, allowing my 15 pound dachshund, Madison, to walk through. The books are actually cut to a depth of 2 inches. More books have been added since this picture was taken. The construction is pine board with dove tail corners. the shelves are fitted with sliding dove tail joints.The skirting has mitered edges. The back is oak faced quarter inch plywood (on the opposite side) with the back painted flat black ( as seen here) to aid the illusion that it is a real book case. The books are glue in place.

Woodworking projects

I've been busy in my woodworking shop the past few months. Now I have somethings to show.

Here is my drop lid desk, a colonial style piece. Above, an angle view with the lid closed and below, with the lid open. Note the interior was designed to hold a notebook computer. Slides pull out to support the lid when open. The lower drawer holds hanging file folders. Except for the hinges, I fabricated every part in the shop including the drawer knobs.

LAKE WORTH ART LEAGUE SHOW

Robert ben Kline will receive an honorable mention award at
the Lake Worth Art League “MY PERSPECTIVE” show
for his sculpture “Hotel.”

The award will be presented at 4PM on Sunday, February 22nd, 2009 at the artist reception.

The reception is between 3 and 5 PM and will include food and beverages.

Robert ben Kline has 2 sculptures in this show.

“Hotel” is an interpretation of Edward Hopper’s 1931 painting “the Hotel”. His painting depicts a woman sitting on a bed reading a letter, her shoes and suitcases on the floor next to an upholstered chair. Robert’s sculpture depicts it as a seedy place with a dirty floor, yellow stains on the walls and graffiti on the outside wall, also placing a rat behind the suitcases.

“Metamorphosis” illustrates Franz Kafka’s short story “The Metamorphosis.” The main character, Gregor, had been the sole support for his parents and sister until one morning he awoke to discover that he had been transformed into a dung beetle. As the other family members grow to despise him, they also transform into productive contributors to the household.
