Bookshelves

My parents have a lot of books, and need a place to put them. They have a mostly clear 24 foot wall in their finished basement. We thought we would build a book shelf along that entire wall. I designed this shelf a little bit differently than is typically done. Normally you build a box or a frame and build shelves into that structure. If you want more shelves, you build more boxes. In this traditional design, you end up with a double layer of material between each set of shelves. In my design, I built the vertical piece as one layer and attached each section together in the center of the shelves. This reduced the amount of material we needed to buy to 9 sheets of pre-finished birch plywood and also gained 3 to 4 feet of shelf space.
