Woodsmith Two-Drawer Bookcase Plan
This project looks to be a relatively simple medium-size bookcase with a couple drawers at the bottom. But this project includes some pretty interesting woodworking techniques. The shelves for instance are solid wood panels over 11" wide so they need to be able to expand and contract freely. This design uses a traditional joinery solution: sliding half dovetails that allow the shelves to move with seasonal changes in humidity without causing the joints to loosen.
We offer the Woodsmith Two-Drawer Bookcase plan as a downloadable PDF or a printed format that we ship to you.
