Building Long Bookshelves That Don’t Sag

This video goes through the build process of a mahogany bookcase I built for my friend. He needed 320 inches of shelf space to hold his heavy heavy law books in his office. Without wanting to build 2 separate bookcases or build in a divider for support, I decided to use a different type of shelf construction (similar to an "I-beam") to build shelves almost 60" wide that don't sag!

I used a similar version in my dad's home office for shelves that spanned 5 feet & 7 feet and were only supported at the ends. For pictures & video of that project, visit: https://www.triplerwoodworks.com/#/ho...
