I have a few shelves of books that were built over the years. They are not created by using the technical plans or tools are expensive, but they look nice and tight, keep all of my books. They are certainly much higher quality than the low-budget Bookshelf that I have for sale at discount stores. They are usually made of pressed Board which has little power cheap. I made from solid wood.
Only the tools that I use when building my bookshelf which first was jigsaw, drilling and hammer. If you find that you have a storage space for the books you are looking for, you can easily build your own. There are some things you should consider before you start.
First, you need to decide how long and how long You want Your book shelves.You can build a long and narrow, low, wide, or You can build a huge storage unit. Be sure to measure the space where you are going when you're done.You can build to sit on the floor or wall. Size 3 ' long and 5 ' width unit makes a good size for a beginner. It is large enough to hold about 150 paperbacks, if there are 3 boards. If you are using a line of books and bookends to keep them upright, it will become even more than that.
If you plan to hang on the wall, You will need to buy a solid hook. I recommend at least 6 brackets if the Bookshelf You will be very large. Place 2 on, 2 in the center of the rack and 2 underground. The easiest way to go about this in brackets on the wall, lift the snaps bookshelves into place. After that, by the parentheses with wood screws to attach. It is better to have someone to help you stay in place when you do this. Make sure the hooks on the wall to wall studs screwed. The wall studs are typically placed 16 "apart, but not always.You can find them using a stud finder, or with the ancient method of knocking on the wall. When tapped will no longer generate an empty sound, You have found a Stud.
The next step is to make a decision about how deep the shelf you will. The broader wood is, the more you will have to pay for it in the home improvement store. Rack 6 "wide will do very well to keep the company's books and small size hardbacks. You have a much larger size Hard cover book, You can opt for 8 "or 10". Whatever you decide, you need to buy wood for the sides, top and bottom of the same width as the Board.
Measure the highest book of your own. This is a bit of advice that I can not emphasize enough. Know your biggest book height will help you decide how far apart to place Your Board. Retrieve height and add at least an inch of additional space between shelves. If You have the space, adding an extra 2 inches of space. Make sure that at least one rack you have approval to keep your big books.
I have found that as time goes by, I seem to collect the books. I had to build a bookcase to keep them more specifically. If you have enough space to start late, you can avoid this problem. The other shelves can be placed closer together, you are usually shorter format of the book.
If your bookcase 3 ' wide or wider, You should plan how to build at least one support somewhere between each set of shelves. This is the easiest to do if You spread their placements, and try not to put directly on top of everything else. If you do not make use of the support of Board length, they will eventually start to SAG from the weight of the books. Cut long support forum space where you're going to post. For example, you have 7 "distance between boards, cut support forum 7" high.
You can use this type of wood to Your Bookshelf. Pine is the cheapest and will do a great job. Poplar and oak are more expensive but more professional-looking piece of furniture. You should be able to all three types of rack in any home improvement store.
Circular saw is easier to use when making straight cuts going, but carefully, they can do with a general puzzle. Make sure your pilot drill holes in wood to nailing it together. This will help prevent splitting wood. Make sure you have a drill that is smaller than the size of the nails that you use. The use of finishing nails when assembling your project. I use 6 cents nails on all finished my bookshelf.
After You finish writing the sides, top, bottom, and supports, sand and stain or paint your project is complete. It is not necessary,
