36x30x12 Bookshelf

This project was a ton of fun for me.  My wife is a teacher and she had these old beat up metal cheap bookshelves.  She brought them home one day to paint them.  I commented how bad they looked and she said, “if you think you can build some better, then do it”.  There was a seperate disclosure thrown in after I got underway on the first bookshelf.  She says, “if you can build one, you have to build 4″.  So, that’s just what I did.  It’s a very easy project. It was easy enough that I went on to build a 5′ x 5′ x 12″ one. Granted, these are not extremely detailed, or anything you might find in some fine furniture store. They are sturdy, quality shelves that look decent and will last. I imagine with a little more time and attention to detail these would be very nice!
