Standard bookshelves
Creating a bookshelves for your kids is a fun job that just about anyone can do. It is a fun project and is great for organizing games or children books. I made one in about 2 hours and we still use it to this day. Cost. ..20.00 - 2). To begin cut the 10 foot piece of wood down to 4' pieces each. These will be your sides to the bookshelf. Sand these down with a mouse sander and set aside. If you want you can paint or lacquer them also. I chose red paint because its more suited for children and is colorful. You can also paint the sides different colors.
- 3). Once these are cut you need 3 4' foot pieces of wood to use as shelves. You will also need 2 pieces of wood for the bottom and the top ... these will be the same size but an inch longer on either side.
Create a box out of these 4 pieces of wood, the tops and bottoms and the sides. Once the box is complete measure the width of the inside of the box and make 3 shelves to fit inside at intervals of 8 inches. This is an easy project and can completed within 2 hours. Use small nails about 1' long and nail them in every 5 inches all the way around. For shelves you can drill out a hole 3/8" and fit pegs inside to hold the shelves, 4 for each shelf.
