| Making A Simple Book Rack |
|
|
Whether your hobby is cooking, gardening, computers or horses, it seems like there is never enough space for the books we accumulate. Rather than store them in a single bookcase, why not have a small bookrack designed to sit on top of your desk, kitchen or wherever you have a need for those special books. This simple, yet classic, bookrack design is a perfect solution!
- Use any type of wood for this project, but consider using the same type of wood as your desk, kitchen cabinets, etc.
- Trace out the sides of your bookrack on your boards, then cut them using either a saber saw or band saw with a fine tooth blade to minimize chipping.
- You can custom design the length of your bookrack to fit your space or needs.
- Cut a slot in either side the same width as the thickness of your shelf.
- Mark and cut notch in the back of each side for the back rail.
- Glue, assemble and clamp the four pieces together and allow it to dry overnight.
- After the glue has dried, give it a final sanding and apply your finish.
