Step 2Gather other tools and supplies!

Gather other tools and supplies!
Tools you'll need for this project:
  • drill
  • 1/2 in drill bit
  • 3/4 in drill bit
  • googles
  • wood glue

Other supplies you'll need:
  • 5/16 in. threaded steel rods (Think small rebar! These can be easily found at Lowes and Home Depot in different lengths. I want to say I chose the 24 in. length!)
  • 8 nuts to fit the rods.
  • washers (Optional - these can help even out the legs.)
  • oil-based paint or primer or your choice! (Getting oil-based is very important. Water-based formula will make the pages bubble and swell like you would not believe!)
  • case knife or x-acto or some sort to trim the holes in the books.
