How to Build a Cube Bookcase
|
This cube bookcase measures 37 inches
long by 37 inches wide, and is 11 inches deep (37x37x11).
The symmetry of the cubes lends this bookcase chic and
modern appeal. Built from 1 inch thick hardwood, the
bookcase is sturdy enough to hold heavy items, and yet has
an open, airy feel to it thanks to the optional back.
No woodworking experience is needed to build this cube
bookcase; however, accuracy is vital for a flush finish.
Therefore, take your time understanding the instructions.
It’s a good idea to draw the bookcase on paper as you read
the instructions, just to make sure that you follow every
step. Once you’re confident, you can start drilling into the
wood, then assembling your beautiful cube bookcase.

Follow These Steps to Build
Your Cube Bookcase
Step 1: Drill Holes in the
Cube Bookcase Sides
In the 2 (A) planks, drill holes on the right and left
length sides to form two parallel lines of holes. The holes
diameter should be smaller than your screws, so as to form a
tight fit once you assemble the cube bookcase.
Position the first set of hole on the
first inch from the bottom of the plank. Position the next
set of holes at 13 inches from the bottom. Position the
third set of holes at 25 inches from the bottom. Position
the last set of holes at 36 inches from the bottom (or on
the first inch from the top).
Step 2: Drill Holes in the Cube Bookcase Top and
Bottom
