You will need a few wood working tools to complete this project. Here are the tools we used:
1- Router with a 3/4” Dado router bit
2- Circular saw or table saw
3- Pneumatic finish nail gun
Supplies we used:
MDF 4’ X 8’ wood panels (we had them cut to the width we wanted at Home Depot.) This saves a lot of time trying to cut this on the table saw at home.
11/16” X 2 1/2” common primed MDF board
11/16” X 7 1/4” common primed MDF board
3 1/2″ Base board
6″ Base board
Crown molding
Wood glue
Nail brads
Caulk
Wood putty
Paint
Angle iron brackets
Let get started! We mapped out how to cut our 4’ X 8’ sheets of MDF wood before heading to Home Depot. We had them cut the sheets of wood into 15” width pieces, which is the depth of our bookcases. Then we cut them to length for each piece at home with the table saw.
We chose MDF wood sheets for this project because it paints up great and when using a router you get better results, plywood tends to chip.
Oh I thought it was about reading in public.
