While there are people who consider bookcases as extra furniture pieces that only eat up free space inside a room, they often overlook the fact that corner bookcases are excellent space savers. With this piece of furniture, you can convert a forgotten corner into a center of attraction by having a place where you can display your most prized collections. What is more is that they do not consume available space that can be allotted for other purposes. It is indeed nice to have a corner bookcase inside your home. But if you do not have the money, is there a way to still have one? Yes, by learning how to build a corner bookcase. Making one is easy, as long as you know how and as long as you have the right materials.
In building your own bookcase, you will need a screwdriver, a hammer, screws, brads, a piece of sandpaper, a bucket of paint and/or stain, pieces of thin hardboard or fiber board, L brackets, a piece of lumber that has been cut in half, and two pieces of lumber that have been cut into 32-inch sections.
Solid Oak Bookcases
A simple way of making a corner bookcase starts with cutting the piece of lumber into 2 pieces with the dimension 2"x10"x12" which will become the sides of your bookcase. You will then need to take the other half of the lumber and cut it into two with the dimension 1"x10"x8". This will become the top and bottom shelves of the bookcase. Then, sand all the pieces of lumber and boards so they will become smooth. You can also paint them with the color that you prefer.
You will then need to decide how much space you would want to have between the shelves and mark them on the sides of the bookcase. Now you can attach L brackets on the sides of the bookcase using screws and brads, keeping them aligned with the height of the different shelves. You can now place the shelves on the brackets. The back of the bookcase can be fitted by screwing the remaining boards on the sides and onto the other shelves.
You have now built your own corner bookcase! It is easy to learn how to build a bookcase. In making one, always remember to observe the necessary precautions to keep you from hurting yourself. Use your imagination to spice up what you have created. Pretty soon, you might even find yourself making more and more furniture pieces. Good luck!
