Making a bookcase from scratch can be fun. The materials you use will determine how you build the unit. This tutorial will teach you how to make a Formica shelf cabinet for storing books. The book storage cabinet design I am referring to in this article will not have doors on it.

I would suggest that you fabricate your open shelf cupboard using plywood unless you want to go with a cheaper material.

Make a drawing of the bookcase that you will be building. Using it as a guide, create a cut list of all the parts you will need.

All of the parts can be calculated for butt joint assembly. The parts can be stapled and screwed together. It is important that you have a back on your bookcase. This is what gives the freestanding unit the most rigidity.
