My son saw this project and wanted a rocketship. I was also tired of piling up his books on the floor. The only wood I bought for it was 1/4" ply for the back as I used leftover 3/4" plywood for the bookcase itself. Fairly easy with a Kreg, it just took a little while to finish all of the painting.

Finish Used
the only paint I bought for this was the red - just bought a sample of Behr's MPH in Satin. I used leftover Behr National Anthem (originally purchased for a dresser that I made my son) and some shade of white that Ihad used on closets (eggshell sheen but can't remember the exact color).
And of course, Zinsser Bullseye primer.
