Simple Shelving Plans

boblaw — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 15:44:02 +0000

Shelves are needed in every home. If you want to know the basic construction techniques for a simple shelf unit, follow this link to DIY. You might call this a bookcase rather than a shelving unit, but to each his own.

The plans are not very comprehensive, but all is well since there is a video how-to. All the tools that are needed are a hammer, circular saw, drill, and tape measure.

Good luck with this simple shelf / book case plan.

Mailbox - Indoor

This indoor mailbox is something that will ease the tension between the wife who wants to be clutter free and the husband who needs things to remain on the counter otherwise he will forget about them. This is a very basic plan that can be completed in just a couple of hours, but sometimes a simple project is what is needed. How many of us have four or five incomplete pieces laying around? Put your hands down now. Build this and cross it off of your list.

Indoor Mailbox Plans

Perfect for use in your kitchen or home office.

Bookcase Plans

These bookcase plans are a great example of how easy it can be to build a carcass of any size that can be dressed up with trim, finished and look like a $500 piece. The example show might fall a little short of that, but once you have the construction basics, you can trim out the carcass and end up with a beautiful piece.

This free plan will give you the basic understanding of bookcase construction. It is your job to take it from there!

Good luck.

Workstation Plans

This is a workstation, computer desk, or task desk that is made from 1 single sheet of 4′ x 8′ plywood. The final width is 32″ and usually enough for a simple workstation. This is a terrific woodworking project for a school who is looking to equip a computer lab on a budget. This is also a great project for a parent looking to build a nice starter desk for their kids room. As always, this is a good project for a parent to work on with their child.

These plans were found on a personal home page, so I hope that they last. If not, e-mail me. I have a local copy of the plan.

Wooden Garbage Can Plans

Have you ever wanted a nice garbage can for your office, but couldn’t find something that was stylish and matched? As most woodworkers know, this is the point where we usually say “I could make that”. If you have a nice wooden desk set, it might have come with a wast basket. However, they generally include a was basket that might hold a few pieces of paper and not the volume that most of us create after simply discarding junk mail.

This wooden waste basket is ample in size and you could always modify the plan to make it larger or smaller. Click the picture to reveal the full plan.

Rolling File Cabinet Plans

If you have a home office, I am sure that you have come to need more and more storage. If you are a woodworker, I am guessing that you might be a bit of a pack rat as well. This plan is for a mobile file cabinet. Essentially, a file cabinet on wheels. The design is nice with inset drawer fronts. You could build an easier file cabinet, but this one has a very nice look that is clean and contemporary. This file cabinet would look great in a contemporary setting and because it is on wheels it doesn’t have to be stuck in one place.

Good luck building your rolling file cabinet. Click on the picture for the complete wood plans from ‘Popular Woodworking’
