One Sheet Of Plywood Bookshelf

One sheet plywood bookshelf step 1.

One sheet of plywood bookshelf.

My goal with this bookcase was to maximize a full sheet of 3 4 plywood. 6 12 x 2 x 4. 2 full sheets of 8 x 4 x 3 4 plywood and 1 piece that measures 14 x 48. I assembled this bookshelf carcass using wood glue and 3 4 pocket holes with 1 1 4.

There is very little scrap lumber left over. The design i came up with does just that. 1 6 x 1 x 4 for the bottom 1 6 x 1 x 6 for the top 1 6 stick of crown molding your choice. 2 8 sticks of trim at least 2 wide 2 1 x 2.

Fill pocket holes. I ve got a detailed post here about how to quickly easily. I also included room in that sheet for a simple dowel hole jig. With adjustable shelves the possibilities are endless.

The 2x2 base and the 1 4 plywood backer are inexpensive but also optional pieces to add on.
