Book Shelf

Here is a shelf made of books. I basically did a combination of this Instructable... https://www.instructables.com/id/60-minute-bookcase/?comments=all#C90X3L0F7DWO3EF

and this one...

Enjoy!

Step 1: Supplies

I was in a thrift store looking at some older books from the late 60's to late 70's... I saw some old Reader's Digest 3 books in 1 books with some nice colors on the cover. There were also some niceold encyclopedias.

Choose however many books you think you might need(depending on the project). Each book is a side of the shelf. They must be hard back and consider the thickness of the books as well.

You will also need the supplies from the https://www.instructables.com/id/Invisible-Book-Shelf/(hot glue gun, wood scews, "L" brackets, screw driver or drill and a sharp knife.

Step 2: Assembly

Following the directions for https://www.instructables.com/id/Invisible-Book-Shelf/I customized my books I chose for this project.

• Drilling screws into the books (it worked best for me to go through the cover and then using a dremel to cut off the ends of the screws that protruded)...
• Attaching the "L" brackets...
• Glueing the cover and glueing of the endhsheets ...

Step 3: Mounting...

So once things have dried overnite you are ready to mount and arrange. I will try tp post some close up pictures of the wall mounting hardware I had to use.  If you go to Walmart you can find the green ones that look like golf tees.  These seem to work great and can hold some weight.

Step 4: Load 'Em Up!

Here's one of my final shelves... I will try to post more pictures later.

Enjoy!
