Floating Oak Bookcase, by Bernard

Description

Floating oak bookcase to match the kitchen for cookbooks. The cabinet is open and has only a frame with shelves. As a result, the whole has an 'airy' atmosphere that does not make it 'heavy'.

The horizontal boards, including the top board, are glued to both uprights with dowels. Make the box yourself by following the steps below: 1. Draw the dimensions and the holes for the devils on the two uprights; one suggestion is to make a mold for the holes from cardboard, for example; 2. Glue the parts to the cabinet, fixing a right-angled corner, for example by temporarily hammering a thin piece of wood against the back with a few small nails; 3. Mount two aluminum L-strips of 2x2cm under two boards at the back. This is for fixing the cabinet to the wall. These strips are mounted under the (counted from above) the under the first and the fourth horizontal plank; 4. Sanding and finishing; and 5. Fix the assembly to the wall with four sturdy bolts (2 per strip).
