Free Built-In Book Case plan : To build a built-in wall unit book shelf, determine the dimensions of the space

required; for simplicity, I have eliminated the window requirement as shown in the photo above; you can customize

the book case plans as needed; the dimensions of this plan will be three equal-sized bookshelves that make up the

wall units:

12' Wide (three units @ 4' wide)

8' High

14" Deep

The recommended materials are 3/4" hardwood plywood (oak, maple, cherry, etc.) and the matching hardwood trim,

1"x3". Materials list:

6 Sheets - 3/4" Hardwood plywood; 4'x8' for six sides, top/bottom panels and shelves.

3 Sheets - 1/8" matching hardwood plywood; 4'x8' for back panels.

2 Pieces - 2x4x12' pine for the bottom base plates.

4 Pieces - 1"x3"x12' hardwood for the horizontal finish trim pieces, and support bracing.

4 Pieces - 1"x3"x8' hardwood for the vertical finish trim pieces.

5 Pieces - 1"x3/16"x12' hardwood, doorstop strips to be used for the front edge of shelves.

60 Pieces - 2" wood screws.

60 Pieces - 6d finishing nails.

1 tube - wood glue.

12 Pieces - 4' metal shelving slotted standards with shelving clips.

1. Prepare the site. Measure the space where the wall unit will sit. Remove all molding in the required space.

Locate all studs in the wall and transfer the marks on the ceiling 14 1/2" out from the wall (you will use these

markings to secure the shelving unit to the wall studs).

2. Install the two bottom base plates upon which the bookcases will sit; select two of the 2x4x12'; secure with screws

or spikes, one 2x4x12' flat to the floor flush to the back wall. From the back wall measure out 14 1/8" and scribe a

line on the floor at both ends; this will represent the front edge of the bookcase. Using these two marks as a guide,

lay the second 2x4x12' flat and secure it to the floor. Your three bookcase frames will rest on these two base plates.

3. Build three equal-sized bookcase frames for the built-in bookcase wall. Rip two of the 4'x8' panels to a width of

14" for: the two sides, top, bottom panels, and one, permanent middle shelf.

4. Select two 14"x8' panels; crosscut 3 pieces to 46 3/8" for the top and bottom panels plus the center

solid/non-moveable shelf.

5. Cut moveable shelves. Select one 4'x8' panel; rip two panels to 13 3/4" each; crosscut 4 shelves per unit to 46

1/8" long for the shelves.

6. Measure and cut the two side panels. Measure from the top of the base plates to the ceiling; confirm the distance

in several spots along the two base plates; measure the distance from the base plate to the ceiling. Using the shortest

measurement as the benchmark; use this measurement and subtract 3/8" for ceiling clearance; this will be the height

of the side panels; for this example, the side panels will measure: 14" x 94 1/8".

7. Make two dado cuts in each side panel to receive the shelf standards. There will be two standards on the left side

panel and two on the right side panel. Set a half-inch wide dado blade to cut a 1/8" deep dado. Set the fence for two

inches. Select the left side panel; place it on the table saw with the good side down, make the dado cut two inches in

from the edge for the entire length of the side panel. Rotate the panel and make another dado cut two inches in from

the other edge. Repeat this for the second/right side panel.

8. Assemble the first bookcase. Select the top, bottom and two side panels with the dado cuts facing in; use a clean

flat floor to assemble your panels. Using a 90 degree corner jig bracket, "butt-joint" the top and bottom panels, with

the "A side" facing in, to the side panels with the dado cuts facing in; ensure the corners are square. Use glue and

three, 2" wood screws per joint and secure all the joints; pre-drill and counter-sink the holes. Add the solid shelf (46

3/8", the same as the top and bottom panels) equal distance from the top and bottom, good side up.

9. Attach the back panel. With the shelving unit assembled on the floor, select the 1/8" plywood back panel and lay

it in position on the bookcase frame with the good side facing in. Match up the top and one side so they are flush to

those two edges and screw and nail it in place using one inch screws and the 6d finishing nails along the edges to

include the center shelf. Remove the excess, overhang material with a router, saw, or a plane so all edges are flush.

10. Set the first, finished unit in place on top of the base plates and to the left corner; allow about 1/4" space from

the left wall; the front edge of the unit should be even/flush with the front base plate. Check the unit that it is level

and plumb; shim the unit as necessary. There should be a ceiling clearance at the top of approximately 3/8". Install
