In an ever expanding quest to transmogrify, modify, customize, or hack everything in my daily life, I decided that my tiny apartment required a bar built into a bookshelf.

I chose to fabricate the racks from scratch because they would be
1) Be cheaper (free)
2) Have the correct dimensions (10.5" deep for an 11" deep shelf)
3) And have that obvious Instructable feel.

You are a genius.  I looked for inexpensive holders everywhere and finally bought some on sale.  I wish I had waited, but now I can expand if I need to.  Great instructable, thank you.

I think I'll be putting one of these together some day. I always make sure to buy wire hangers for this very reason, they can be MacGyver'd into just about anything.
