And, of course, it's all put together with <a href="https://www.kregtool.com/store/c13/kreg-jigsreg/?source=1677" target="_blank">Kreg Joinery</a>™ so it's sturdy enough to stand up to many years of play. We used a combination of paint and natural finish to give the toy box some extra personality and a fun, fresh look that's sure to please. <br/> <br/> The plan is attached as a PDF below. If you would like to print the plan, you will need to first save it to your computer. Then, open it in Adobe Reader and select Print. You can download Adobe Reader free <a href="https://get.adobe.com/reader/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br/> <br/> Once you're done building, be sure to <a href="http://kregjig.ning.com/photo/album/new" target="_blank">share your project</a>.

<p>I built the bookshelf in the attached picture. Dimensions are as follows. I used 1x 12's with 1/4 in sandeply backing. Sides are 29 in tall. Horizontal shelves are 36 inches across. </p>
<p>I made best guesses along the way on some things. I did use Titebond wood glue where I could.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So I can learn, I wanted to get feedback from the more experienced woodworkers on these questions:</p>

<p>So I can learn, I wanted to get feedback from the more experienced woodworkers on these questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>When assembling shelves such as these, does one attach all the horizontals to one vertical side first, then attach the other side board?</li>
<li>Can you use a router on a finished piece like this? Or is it better to route the boards beforehand?</li>
<li>I used at least 5 screws on each side. For a 1 X 12, what's the correct number of screws per side in an edge-joint?</li>
<li>What's the proper way to attach 1/4 inch plywood as shelf backing material ?</li>
<li>What's the correct nail to attach the plywood backing?</li>
</ol>

<p>After months of reading, browsing various sites including here and YouTube, I finally decided to tackle this bookshelf for my wife's office. I built some racks made of 2x4's that actually took majority of Saturday and decided to build the bookshelf today.<br/><br/>Lowe's & Home Depot unfortunately did not have the pine boards I wanted, mostly were just disastrous and was able to get relatively great quality at a local lumber yard. <br/><br/>The main tools used were:<br/>- Milwaukee 7-1/2" circular saw<br/>- Kreg Jig (master system)<br/>- Kreg right angle clamp x2<br/>- Kreg clamp<br/>- Miscellaneous clamps<br/>- Dewalt cordless drill <br/>- Dewalt orbital sander </p>
<p><br/>95% of material were pine boards in 3/4" thickness with luan plywood board on the back. Kreg's coarse 1-1/4" screw worked just fine.</p>
<p><br/>The space is limited where I live so everything had to be done in the open (not to mention the -1°F windchill today yay). Started at 7AM and completed about 4PM. The dimensions are a bit odd but wanted to fit between the wall that's indented. <br/><br/>Overall I'm satisfied. I'm a newbie at this so it wasn't measure twice cut once deal; more like measure 10 times and pray everything will be straight. I also had to make a jig for the circular saw as the lumber yard didn't have 1x2's and had to rip a wider board. A lot of newbie mistakes but was able to learn a lot. Definitely more confident in building more shelving and trying something new.<br/><br/>One thing though, Kreg's right angle clamps made things so much easier! It helps tremendously in terms of being able to have that second hand and have everything flush. Just the Kreg system alone is a must have...</p>
