How to make a bookshelf
After repairs, very often the question arises about placing in the room various things, including books. In this article, how to make a bookshelf. Of course, you can buy ready-made shelves in the store, but not always such shelves will fit the dimensions for installation indoors.
First of all, we need Fiberboard or plywood thickness of 5 millimeters, as well as construction boards with a thickness of 15 to 20 millimeters and a width of 30 centimeters. From consumables will be needed self-tapping screws a diameter of 2 millimeters and a length of 1.5 centimeters, furniture screws, the length of which is 5-6 centimeters, and the thickness - 5 millimeters. Also useful self-adhesive decorative film. From the tools you need to take: hacksaw, drill, sandpaper, screwdriver and carpenter's corner. In addition, you must strictly follow the safety rules when working with tools.
To make a bookshelf, you will first needmake sure that the boards do not have any chips, dents or knots. Attach the square to the side of the board and draw a line of the nag with a pencil. Then take a hacksaw and saw the board clearly along the line drawn. Now put the board on the floor with a sawed end and measure the required height, make a mark with a pencil and cut off some of the board again. Then from the second board make one more same detail. As a result, we get side walls of future shelves. Also it is worth noting that the sawn-off ends should be carefully processed with sandpaper so that they become smooth and even.
Further from the required shelf length take away the double side wall thickness, and then mark on the blackboard the lines of the nag. In the same way, make the right amount of horizontal parts.
Now from the ends of the side walls, marka distance that is equal to half the thickness of the board, and using a triangle and a pencil draw lines along the entire width of the board. After that, at a distance of 5 centimeters from the sides, make notes. It will be centers of holes for fasteners horizontal boards to lateral details. Then, using a drill and a drill, whose diameter is slightly less than the diameter of the screws, drill through through holes. Now the horizontal parts can be fixed with screws.
The next thing to do is Drill holes in the side walls for fixing the shelves, and also make holes in the ends of horizontal parts. The depth of the latter should be equal to the length of the screw minus the thickness of the board. Then use a screwdriver to screw the screws into the holes.
Now, when the regiment is almost ready, we put allThe resulting construction on plywood or fiberboard and outline it with a pencil along the outer contour. On the line obtained, cut out the blank and glue it with self-adhesive paper. Next need On the back of the frame, screw the back wall with screws. Now the shelf is ready for operation: it can be installed in the right place and proceed with the placement of books.
It is worth noting that if you want the fixation of screws to be more reliable, we recommend Before screwing in, drip into the hole one drop of PVA glue.
As you could see, make a bookshelfwith their own hands is quite simple. It is enough to have the necessary tools and materials. However, if you are not sure that you will be able to properly follow all the instructions given or you do not have sufficient skills to work with a drill or a hacksaw, we recommend that you turn to professional carpenters for help.
