Sounds to me like a bookbinding niche market -
was this for a business-at-home ? Really neat !
Love that drawer-cabinet next to it, too.

He runs his book binding business from a converted garage at his house.  He
does high end stuff, one book he showed me was a medieval chained
book.  All he had was most of the cover and a few pages.  From that he had
to build a book for display.

That is in two sections and I was asked to work up a bid to build another
section.  First I have to make another set of shelves for the other
side.  I also have to install a set of glass doors for his gold leaf stamp
cabinet.  That will be sometime next week.
