Between my hundreds of books from being an English major in college, my masters in Writing & Literature, and Will's hundreds of books from Germany (he really likes to read), we desperately needed some bookshelves in our new home.
This is step one of Project Bookcase. This is the largest bookcase, but Will is going to build two more smaller ones since we still have more boxes of books, even after we lost some in a basement flood last week. I'm proud of Will and love how it turned out! Here are a few snapshots of the process:
Will used a hand saw, dowel pins, and wood glue for most of the project. He did use additional screws for the individual boards though and to secure it to the wall. Safety first!

And in two weekends, the bookcase was complete, painted, and the new home for many of our books! Bravo Will!
