Hello Everyone

This instructable came very slick and neat !

I have a spare room @ my home, and one of it`s walls is empty ( beside a big picture )

So i decided to remove the pic, and build two big shelves that can host many many books, art, a bunch of stuff.

The building process took one week or so , had to buy the wood, saw it, adjust the height, and finally hang it.

Came very nice!

Enjoy

Cut the Wood

Soo, first step would be to cut all wood that i bought according to my desired size.

I measured the wall and fitted it with the shelves .

But i didn't want the shelves to be regular fitted, but rather to be in a different height each.

So i had to cut each angle on the side and fit it

Screw Them Together

Screw each wood to each other

The sides we will grind later and fill it with wood filler

Fill the gaps with the wood filler , let it dry for a few hours and than we will sand it

This was a tricky one.

I needed to hold the shelves alone , mark the height and drill.

Soo it took some time.\

Place It on the Aluminum Rods

Now the painting of the wood.

I used a sponge in order to give it a slick look ( a bit grindy )

Came great !

Prepare Rods for the Sides of the Shelves

In order to prevent the books from falling, i prepared aluminum rods and wood pieces attached together.
