A NewFangled Bookcase....

Many of you have these particle-board bookcases. I got mine from the "moving sale" in MADison, Wisconsin. This "sale" has been known by many names, but most noticably "Trash 'n Treasure". Anyways, most of these bookcases have a decent frame but are lacking in style. This is my attempt to rectify that.

All you need is: An old, used particle-board bookcase, a pneumatic nail-gun, some wood glue, and access to a home-supply-store.

Step 1 Remove all shelves.

(NOTE: If I thought I was gonna do an instructable on this, I would have taken pics; since I didn't, I've used Blender to create some graphics to illustrate....)

These bookcases usually have several removable shelves with one held in place by screws, I assume for support. Take out any and all shelves except that one. The image shows what I had left.

This, sir, is one stylish bookcase. Reclamation of materials, inventive design, fairly easy to create.... Simply excellent!

You're getting my first comment! :) I just wanted to say how much I like your idea here. This looks like a book shelf in a store for several hundred dollars. Very innovative indeed! Bookmarked this one.

Thanks, guys. I hoped that, as my first instructable, it would be clear and precise. Had a lot of fun building this, too.
