| How to Build a Bookcase
Learning how to build a bookcase is the start of a journey - down a wonderful path of self satisfaction and accomplishment. You'll soon discover is that the skills you've picked up while building your bookcase can be applied to just about any kind of furniture project you can imagine. And the best part is that most projects can be built with only few common power tools and some inexpensive lumber from a home center. You'll find plenty of plans on the Web to show you step-by-step how to build a bookcase. And hopefully the particular design and style of the plan you buy will fit your taste. However, I think a better approach is to design your own bookcase - something that fits exactly your taste, style, and the room in which you will set up the bookcase. I wouldn't normally suggest that everyone can design and build their own furniture projects - building furniture can get complicated (and expensive) if you don't have a lot of woodworking experience. A bookcase is different, though. It's the perfect project for learning the basics of wood construction - without having to invest a lot of money in tools and materials. My EZ bookcase planner shows you all the basics that go into building a bookcase - from choosing the right style of joinery to finding the best shelf length to avoid sagging shelves. I've also included instructions for building a few simple shop tools that will make cutting lumber easy and accurate. Once you have the basics in hand, you'll be free to design and build a bookcase in any style, shape, or form you like.
