Very nice work. My wife has been after me for years to build a bookcase in our family room and your project has gotten me motivated. One question: What kind of puck lights did you use? I have installed some xenon units under our kitchen  cabinets but notice they give off quite a bit of heat. I would worry about using them enclosed inside the shelves.

Thanks!

Yes, i was worried about the heat as well because the puck lights are embedded inside the wood and so I knew that the heat would not vent very well. I used LED puck lights with wires that were hidden inside the shelves. The company for the LED lights was Hampton Bay and I bought it at Home Depot. I also chose LED because they are long lasting. Good luck on the build

P.S. LED emits very little heat.

AMAZING. You have so much talent and if you're not doing this for a living, you certainly should.  You would be so successful no doubt.  I wish I had half your talent!  Truly inspiring.

p.s. you should send photos of this along with drawings to Woodworker & Wood magazines for consideration.  I bet you would get published.
