Convert an antique fridge into bookshelves

Step 4 Measure by measure

Figure out how you want to arrange your shelving. I chose to use basically the same layout that was already in my fridge. The original shelves were no good however. They were rusted out and not sturdy enough to hold up enough books.

Once you figure out your dimensions cut down the angle aluminum to fit around the sides using your hacksaw. I overlapped my angle aluminum for added rigidity.

Next cut down your plexi glass to size. I actually just had the guy at Lowes cut mine before I left the store. I used quarter inch thick plexi glass. Lighter than that was too floppy.
