Stability is job one in a design for a book case that is rolling. The situation shouldn’t be over three shelves tall and should be a tad deeper and wider than you would ordinarily construct for shelving. Steer clear of plywood from the structural portions of the situation and use preferably shelving, boards, to avoid bowing in the center of the shelf. Flange ball moves (see”Resources”) give a smoother”ride” than conventional casters, and therefore are nicer looking to boot.
Use a screw to indicate shelf support points on the boards’ tip. Measuring from 1 end, make marks 3 inches, 27 inches and 15 inches. This is going to be the inside of a side support board where the shirts of your support sticks will line up along with the marks will tell you.
So that you form a ladder of support screw an 8-inch-long sticks every board’s face up. Use three screws per stick.
Place the boards upright, and using a helper to hold them in place, organize a board so that its end is. This is going to become your bottom shelf.
Screw to the the top of the 1-by-2 and through the board’s end sticks both boards, using at least 2 screws. The fledgling bookshelf can now stand by itself.
Working from the reduced shelf secure the other two boards at the same way.
Twist the bookshelf so that the board is flush with the toes of the support boards and set the last 4-foot board. Stability is provided by this board and provides you more area for attaching the chunk moves.
Screw to the support and through the board stick with two screws.
Lay the bookcase down to measure and mark the edge of every support board using a twist. Mark at 19 inches, 7 inches and 31 inches from the bottom.
Lay a from side to side, lined up using the bottom mark, and twist through each end into the edges of the support boards.
Attach at their marks. These boards serve as the backs of the shelves and keep the books if it is moved, from falling out the back of the bookshelf.
Turn the unit on the head of it again and attach the ball moves, following the manufacturer’s instructions to fasten them. Most ball moves will have a base plate using four prefabricated screw holes, but some have two holes along with others, a hole at the center. A number of your screws will be to the bottom ends of the side support boards and the rest will go into the bottom support board.
Sand the unit beginning with the medium-grit sandpaper and completing with all the fine-grit. Sand edges and the corners smooth and make sure all slivers are sanded off.
Paint or stain the bookcase.
