  1. For manufacturing, we need a few boards that will become shelves, a sheet of plywood as the back wall and wooden round bars for the limiters.
  2. All preforms are pre-painted with paint, or we give the desired shade with the help of stain, and then varnish.
  3. We install shelves . The frame consists of boards that form a rectangle equal to the sheet of plywood. The whole frame is fixed using self-tapping screws.
  4. And here are the wooden rods. They will play the role of limiters, since the shelf is narrow and the books in it will be the cover to the reader.
  5. It remains only to fix the back wall and everything is ready.

Bookshelves-racks with their own hands

  2. On the sheet of plywood we draw outlines of a tree with massive branches, which will later become regiments.
  3. We need two such blanks. Between them we will fix several shelves under the books.
  4. On the reverse side it is clearly seen that this is just a vertical board and a little smaller on the sides.

  4. And here is the secret of such a beautiful design: instead of the usual fasteners or wooden boards we will use huge iron pins. You can try forged metal curtain rods for curtains or any other option.

Round bookshelf

Sometimes, instead of drawing drawings for the bookshelf, which we will do with our own hands, we can use old things or furniture, and give them a new life. In our version, we will redo a large wooden spool.
