Woodworking projects can be actually interesting but if you have always thought they\’re too complex for you, it is now time that you know they\’re not. Woodworking projects aren\’t as difficult as they seem, particularly when you have the right kinds of woodworking designs and plans in your reach. If you\’re new to the arena of woodworking and you are still not comfortable with your do it yourself skills, you can try building your own corner bookcase as a start.
It is relatively simple to build a corner bookcase. What you need are 2 pieces of half-inch plywood cut into four\’ x eight\’ plywood, a tape measure, a pencil, gloves, protective eye glasses, a jigsaw or table saw, sandpaper, nails, a hammer, and some wood stain or paint. The very first thing you would wish to do is to find a corner in your room or house where you would wish to place your bookcase. Once you have selected a spot, take some measurements so you can determine the height, width, and depth of your bookcase. You can download a corner bookcase plan online to make the entire job easier.
You will then have to mark out and cut at least two triangles from one of the pieces of plywood that you have, following the measurement of your chosen bookcase depth. These triangular pieces of plywood will become the shelves of your bookcase. You may then need to mark out and cut twp oblong pieces from your other sheet of plywood. These will form the side panels of your bookcase. Their length should follow the measurement of the specified height of your bookcase while their width should be of the same measurement with the two legs of your within panels.
Once you have cut out all the pieces, it is time to nail them together to form your bookcase. Take the interior panels and nail them on one of the side panels, working the nail from the outside. Once done, nail the other side panel to the half-finished bookcase; after this, it\’s time that you nail the top and bottom panels ready.
To finish your corner bookcase, you will need to sand down all the roughened edges. After sanding, it is time for you to apply your sort of finish to your bookcase. You can select any color of paint of you like. If you like a rather more natural look, you may use a certain hint of wood stain.
