Inspired by Ralph’s “Der Bunker”, and Andy’s “Man Room”, I searched for a title for my newly finished study. It is not bunker-like, since my room is in the house I went for a more traditional look and my wife once commented tongue in cheek “You’re building yourself a little Chancellery!”, so there you have it, it stuck.
Anyway, I set pencil to paper about 10 months for the plans, and I have not stopped working since. It took me that long to get to where I am today, and I am not even done since I have yet to build my gun cabinet, but the office is open for business and the roughest part is certainly over. Since I have been working on it for so long, I’ve received more than a couple of requests for pictures, I’ll do my best to explain them along and give some details for the benefit of those that are thinking about constructing one yourself. As anything worthwhile does, a project like this requires work and dedication to stay the course, but my motto is that if I am committed to a project I am going to do it right, and I am going to do it big (much the chargrin of my angel wife
)
So, let’s get down to the details. Below is the plan for the back wall unit, I have a folder full of plans since I did everything from complete scratch. I planned and executed the layout of the room, the furniture and even the electric work needed (this is important because I wanted some track and accent lighting, which makes the room IMO as you will later see).
The furniture was made out of solid oak, and I finished it with Deft lacquer. Before you run and alert the church elders, I phoned the company and spoke with an engineer who assured me that this product does not emit fumes after 30 days at most, and usually it stops within 7 days. The finish came out great.
But I digress, here are the plans….
