Slanted Shelf
I got bored a while ago and was thinking of a new project to do. I've had this project in mind for a while now so I decided to make it. It's a very cool piece and everyone seems to like it. So far everyone who has seen it has asked "why?" which was exactly what I was looking for haha. I hope you enjoy.
Materials and Tools
Materials:
-wood (make sure its the same thickness as the book)
-spare book you dont want anymore
Tools:
-drill
-x-acto knife
-saw (i used a mitre saw)

Make the "bookend"
To make the "bookend" for this, measure the wood to fit inside the book and cut the pages out. Cut the wood to fit. Drill 2 pilot holes in the bottom of the wood and glue the wood to the inside of the book, making sure it's flush.
Make the Shelf
For this step all you need to do is drill holes where the bookend is going to go and then screw it in place. I used 3" screws for this. Then Screw 2 pieces of wood to the bottom of the shelf (or one long one). Finally just screw the shelf to the wall at an angle, add books, and enjoy.
