Self-tier with own hands

In the 1970s and 1980s, it was difficult to imagine a Soviet apartment or a house without a wooden bookcase . They were used to store press, books, various costume jewelery and souvenirs, as a stand for flowers. The fragile appearance of the structure gradually pushed the walls and the headset into the interior, although it possessed a lot of advantages, so finding this type of furniture of the appropriate shape and size in the store is now problematic. But this small furniture fits perfectly into the modern environment, functional, takes up little space and is suitable for storing a lot of things. It is not surprising that a floor shelf or a suspended shelf, made in the form of a bookcase with their own hands, will always find a place in the country or in the apartment.

How to make a bookcase with your own hands?

1. For work a wide board, glued array or plywood is suitable. We also need a beam, which we use to produce the legs. In this case, we decided to make the shelves out of an array of wood .
2. On the machine or with a manual circular saw, we trim the workpieces to the size of our shelves.
3. At the bottom of the bookcase, we will have a closed box. First, the workpieces for it are clamped with clamps, combining them with each other as precisely as possible.
4. Drill the drill holes in the fasteners.
5. We assemble the structure together without clamps.
6. We fix the walls of the box with each other using several screws.
7. Drill the holes for the pins on which the inner shelf will hold.

10. The ends on the shelf are traversed by a hand-held router to make the part look attractive.
