i read this one, decided i needed some decorations, and went to town on it. simple, effect is great. thanks for this!

Wonderful idea!!! And very good explained.

easy to follow, and after the first one its clockwork. i made a zipper like format. good space saver too!

Great Instructable! Here's mine. A possible modification would be to make the shelf book a "secret compartment" or hollow book!

Thanks a lot for this great instructable! The directions and pictures were very clear. Here are pics of my shelf:

My first instructable! Most excellent!

Here's my attempt. I used some nice, gilded, leatherbound editions of the Homeric epics with just god-awful, rhyming English verse translations. I couldn't stand ever reading them, besides I have better translations and I know ancient Greek anyway, so I don't even need them! HA! In your face, publisher. On to the project, I didn't have a drill, so I couldn't put pilot holes in the pages, but I found that simply placing the screw that holds the pages together more into the center of the page instead of toward the corner, I got less "wrinkle" on the sides. There was still a lot of wrinkle on the edge of the pages, but that faces the wall anyway so there's no problem there. All in all, not a bad first attempt. In fact, this is the first project I'd done with instructables.com. On the plus side, most of my literature is heroic prose or poetry, so the shelves match their contents. Don't ask me why I mounted them like that. Shoulda done the red one a little higher. Awesome Instructable!

Way kool! Thanx for sharing this one! Here's mine:

Hi everyone,
I'd like to thank for this great instructable!

I was planning to do my bookshelf for about 6 months. When I finally got to round to it, it took me about an hour or two.

I used an old calendar notebook with metal binding on the side so I can hang my earing collection :)

Thanks again!

Here is the one I built. I did it with two brackets and it turned out great. Awesome instructable!

 Here's a pic of the one I made. I liked the way the books look standing up, kinda defeats the purpose but oh well..

Hello. My walls are made of plasterBoard. Can i still screw in the plasterboard ? Will it be resilient enough ? Any feedback ?

Thank you for the instructable

So many of you have this cordless. I had about 3 of them until I finally bought myself a Makita.

Thank you. I made this a while ago and i even have eragon on it

This is so great, I'm going to do this with some of my action figures/collectibles actually, and this is just perfect for that! I just hope I don't *cave* in and buy the Conceal Shelf off the Amazon link greeneyzblue just posted above, cuz what's the fun in that if I didn't MAKE it myself! ;D....ok ok, maybe I'll buy one or two just to tide me over, but I'm STILL making these! Great share, dorxincandeland!

How much weight would you say the average hardcover can bear?

Very good idea! +

calm down if you looked and read the instructions those books aren't hurt just the bottom one and eragon is a great book by the way recommended it to all fictional readers and others to:)

Unheard of! You can't do that at level four, but I'll do it anyway!

I don't have a book I don't want though! Usually I buy books because I DO want them.

I have that drill

question, would it be more stable if you used two L brackets? maybe i dont know enough about it, but it seems a little bit unstable this way.

thats good please send this technique in full detailed one to me, thanks

For those with a little more money but no books they're willing to destroy, I just found this on Amazon.
