More on custom comic storage...

[peewee22]

Here's my completed (finally) custom comic storage unit. It is 2 separate pieces and made of 100% white pine (no, I did not build it). White pine is lightweight and mobile. Sanded and rounded very nicely. Note the gorgeous, thick, massive log legs and the natural grain, splits, and knots in the wood. No stain or varnish applied.

 

The top unit contains 6 separate bins and each bin holds 15 to 20 CGC graded books, depending on the type (SA, GA) and depth of the comic case. I allowed a tiny bit of space in each unit for the books to move left to right.

 

Positioned beside my work desk for easy access. Still a ways to go filling it. Donations welcome (expensive books only, please).

All smoke and mirrors.

 

It's not in the 2nd scan but it is in the 3rd scan.

Seriously expensive books already residing in there. Looks great!

 

For keeping dust/excessive light out, what about some kind of dark cloth to throw over the top, when you aren't looking through the books?

CGC cases can withstand wind, rain, hail, snow, and horse poopy.

Not very light in my office. Thought about a custom pine top, but passed. I like the openness and easy access-ness. (thumbs u

 

Yeah, dust and Husky hair is a problem (I have a gorgeous Husky dog). I vacuum-tube it often.

Why aren't those slabs in mylars? I'd hate to see a coffee spill which could penetrate into the slab.

While that would suck, the sealed inner well would likely protect the books. Better to not have it happen tho!
