Building Shelves for LOTS of books... Help?
OK, I'm moving in to a new apartment and between my father and myself, we, literally, own 1000+ books...
Buying book cases for all our books will cost a TON of money so I was thinking about building one massive unit along One Wall in the new apartment.
I know I will have to secure it to the wall, but that will only take a few anchors and I was thinking of putting up molding along the top to make it look "Built In".
The space I have to fill is about a foot deep but a good 8 feet long.
Would it be better to make my own shelving unit or spend the $$$ at Ikea for a pre built unit that I would just install myself?
I'm very handy with tools and have no fear of construction, I'm just worried about the cost...
Do you have any links that could help? Advice?
Thanks a ton!
(2/3 are paperback, the rest are hard cover OR the large sized paperback... Think 8.5x11 Paperback.)
You can definitely save money doing it yourself, and if you have the right tools it will look nicer. You will need to make sure it's beefy enough to hold all of those books, and it needs to be secured to the studs, not to plastic anchors. Use 3/4" cabinet grade or hardwood veneer plywood, such as maple, oak, or birch (whichever you have for your trim). If you rip the plywood to 11-7/8", you will get 4 8' shelves out of a sheet. You will need a straightedge to clamp to the sheet to get nice edges. A piece of 1 x 4 on the back of the shelf will keep it straight, and give you a way to attach it to the wall. You will also need some sort of support in the middle of the shelf to keep the front edge from sagging. Attach some veneer to the front edge of the shelves and end panels to cover edge of the plywood. Trim out the top with a decorative moulding and you are set. It's a lot of work, but it will look better than a prefab. Hope this helps.
