Thank you, for the most part I used the fine threaded screws. I did use the course thread screws for the plywood attachments. The molding wasn't difficult just labor intensive. It is cut in multiple parts. I would run a 1X3 over the router table to shape the edge then cut the shape free plus 1/4" on my table saw. A pin nailer makes assembly much easier.

I like your bookcase! Did you use the fine screws? I wish I could do molding like you.

I adapted the plan from Wood Magazine's bookcase trio plan. It's a basic plan with three different finish treatments. I used Kreg pocket hole joinery.  The carcass of the case is furniture grade 3/4" domestic red oak plywood as are the shelves. I used 1/4" red oak bead board for the back.  Everything else I used 4/4 solid red oak. I don't mind using furniture grade plywood as it saves having to worry about seasonal movement.

I'm planning a tall bookcase system that will be gun safe. I won't be able to do the molding the same way but I am designing it in a traditional style .

now THAT is nice, very nice. Would like that built into a wall and used as a concealed door for a access to a secret room
