Flat Wall Book Shelf

Submitted by Solomon on Wed, 01/01/2014 - 10:37

Given space limits, I modified the plans to feature wider (35") shelves. Height is about 45".

Used 1x3 on front of shelf instead of 1x2, for a cleaner look (no visable joint). Had to rip 1x6 down shelf down to 1x5 to do so. Didn't add the extra rail.

Raised bottom shelf up above top of existing baseboard so shelf wasn't in play when cutting out side rails to fit flush to wall. Used Kreg Jig for all joinery.

Behr White semi- gloss enamel to finish.
