Ok, so some of you may have seen my other instructable using this same wall for other shelving ideas. Although the others ideas were cool I think this one takes the cake.
{I also had issues finding any instructions on how to create this shelving system so I thought I would remedy this.}
The main resource I did find online was this one here... http://www.ronhazelton.com/archives/howto/recessed_shelves.shtm
I am using this as a base for this Instructable, and just altering it to fit my situation and experience.

Step one would be to find a spot for this shelf/ book case... Think about what you need as far as the size of the books, games or objects that are going to be housed on theses shelves.
The place I chose was a odd 3 ft. wide wall that was about 15 inches deep. To me it appeared to be wasted space that I could do something with. Other spots you could do a similar project with would be under the stairs or in a half wall.
I am using mine for books and magazines so I built my shelves to be about 8 inches deep and 26 inches wide.

Was there anything in that thing - e.g. pipes?

Other than the stud I cut out there was nothing else. It's too bad I couldn't have hinged it for a secret stash spot (trust me I tried).
