Book Frame: Recycle a Mattress Box Frame into a Book Shelf!

Step 3 Wood!

As you can see, we've harvested a lot of wood! However, before we start building, we have to clean up shop a bit. Any stubborn or broken staples should now be removed with either the screwdriver or some pliers. You can also take the time to measure your wood stock, just to see how much you have to work with. My box frame yielded the following:

2 (3.5" x 79")
2 (2.5" x 75")
2 (3.5" x 51")
8 (2.5" x 51")
2 (2.5" x 40")

(all 0.75" thick)
