What does it cost for books when you go to SBL? Here\u2019s something to factor in:
\n $\"Building$ <\/a> <\/a> $\"Filled\"$ <\/a>
\n(If you click on the pictures, they expand to full size.)
\nI spent a few hours Wednesday, now that all my publication deadlines are met, catching up on finding space for books. I built two shelves. My recipe: 84 inches of 1\u00d710 std pine for sideboards, with shelves made of thirty inches of 1\u00d78 std pine (to save money). 11 inches apart. Two screws per side for each shelf, and bingo! a new shelf.
\nI learned to make bookshelves from Kris\u2019 dad, Ron Norman. One of his hobbies was woodworking, and he made my first wooden bookshelves \u2014 and he made four big ones and I needed another and another and then yet another and then he said one day, \u201cThis is my last one. You get to make the rest.\u201d So, I learned to make them myself and I\u2019ve got that little job down to a science. I can\u2019t make one without thinking of him walking up to my shelves, licking his finger, wiping it on the wood, and taking a big sniff of the smell of pine. I do it too.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
