I need instructions for building a canopy and THEN I can make things like this. I've had twelve books of orchestral sheet music just waiting to be glued onto bookcases...since 1995.

Sadly I live in an apartment, and cannot muck up my small living space with paint fumes and dust from sanding. I look forward to the day when I have a garage and a back yard.

It makes these jobs even easier! The "new" furniture for my son's room cost less than $30. What a deal! One of the best purchases I made last year was a small handheld electric sander.
