DIY Bookcase

Instead of planning my next week of lessons this weekend, I decided to build a book case for my bedroom.  I’ve been needing a place to organize all of my physics and earth science textbooks that I use for teaching, so this was the perfect opportunity!

Step 1 – Gather Materials

Step 2 – Attach shelf railings to side panels

Step 3 – Attach top to sides correctly

Step 4, 5, 6 – Attach bottom to side panels, screw in wheels, insert shelves,

Step 7 – Sand down edges to avoid splinters

More sanding with the help of Boosie

The backing is still missing because the guy at home depot cut the piece of ply wood to big so I have to get it re-cut. Also planning on painting it the girliest colors possible, maybe even stencil some flowers on this bad boy. I think the floral design mixed physics textbooks will be a good balance.

I think my next project is going to be fixing up the awful filing cabinets that I have at school that are all rusted. Found an awesome idea online of how to fix up similar cabinets and making them extra girly. Check it out:

This would require a bit more work so we’ll see when I can actually get it done. First I have to finish my book case.
