Granddaughter's bookshelf complete - Ohio Mike - 04-02-2016 I checked off an item on my ToDo list today.  This bookshelf is 27 x 12 x 40 inches tall and fits into an awkward little corner in my Granddaughter's room.   I enjoy projects like this that are quick and cheap to build.   Materials = 1 sheet of 3/4" oak ply from the Home Depot, some scraps of oak from my leftover pile for the trim and face frame, and a can of Minwax Polyshades. Bottom trim has a simple 45 degree chamfer made on the table saw:    Shelves are adjustable: Simple molding is made with one pass of a router: The top is plywood wrapped in oak trim:    Mike Re: Granddaughter's bookshelf complete - tag - 04-02-2016 Nice, I'll bet she loves it. Re: Granddaughter's bookshelf complete - RedBob - 04-02-2016 Looks great, Mike. Nice even finish. Well built with nice proportions. Instant heirloom! Well done! Bob Re: Granddaughter's bookshelf complete - Joel H. - 04-02-2016 I really like quick & cheap - but I really like nice & functional even better. I think you scored on all of them. I also know how much fun it is to build stuff for grandchildren - sweet! Joel Re: Granddaughter's bookshelf complete - John Mihich - 04-02-2016 Good for you. Nice straight forward design.
