We also recommend that you do not forget to screw the shelf to the wall so that it does not fall inadvertently)))

Folding wall shelf

folding wall shelfShown here how to make a folding shelf on the wall for books. The structure is made of wood panels arranged horizontally, like a regular shelf, but if necessary, they can be rotated 90 ° vertically. At the expense of practicality and functionality, you can bet, but it’s cool and takes up little space. In addition, no large costs are required, the author made this folding shelf using two sheets of laminated plywood, which used to be part of the old table. In general, the idea is this.

A folding shelf on the wall consists of long planks (which work like shelves), alternating with short planks (which work as supports).

folding wall shelfdo-it-yourself folding shelfPhotos of two positions. At the beginning of each long part there is a triangle, this is a stop block. It is cut at an angle of 45 °, and allows the shelf to fold vertically and lock in a horizontal position. Stop blocks alternate with short parts that serve as a support. They allow long parts to rotate freely 90 °, staying in place and not clinging to other parts.

Take 2 cm thick laminated plywood. To make a shelf (26 cm x 25 cm) x 5 cm from 2 cm thick laminated plywood you will need 13 parts:

  • 7x (26 cm x 5 cm) for shelf and retainer blocks
  • 6x (10 cm x 5 cm) for support legs

To smoothly cut all the parts, the author marked all the pieces and fastened the laminated plywood to the workbench. The photo shows a shear test done before cutting plywood to make sure the measurements are correct.

https://i.expert-h.com/en/polki/knizhnaya-polka#sigFreeId3a95533ed4

The holes for the rod are located at half height (2.5 cm) and at a distance of 7.5 cm on one side. To mark them in the right place, take the bar and make two small ones 5 cm and 10 cm above and on the lower edges.

  • Install the stop block.
  • Drill holes in the remaining trims.

Note. If you use a stop block, you can quickly make many holes in one place in different areas, measuring and marking only one of them.

How to install the hinge

The hinge allows you to connect the support strips with long rails so that they can rotate up and down 90 °. If you do not have a threaded rod, you can use the handle of the bucket as a hinge. Just straighten it using a vise.

Stop blocks are the most important part of the shelf. To make them, saw off each of the 7 long rails at an angle of 45 °. You can do it as an author, holding all 7 pieces, to evenly cut in the same place.

Note. Be sure to mark the number on both parts (shelf and triangle) to quickly find the part you need.

Then glue the stop blocks to the support rails. To do this, glue the triangles, alternating them into shorter pieces. Apply glue, and then glue the pieces in place, covering the laminated surfaces with tape. Now you can put the rod in place and check how it works.

In the photographs, look at the movements that each of the 7 long slats should make. They should begin with the stop of the locking block, and stop vertically against the edge of the triangle. Once the movement is perfect, you can deploy the hinge. Cut off the excess, and then use a ball-head hammer to smooth the end. Finish the surface with a grinder.

To hang up, you can use two invisible wall sockets.

  1. Mark the center on the side of the second and fourth support and drill holes.
  2. Take a drill for walls of the same size, and make two holes in the wall at a distance of 11.5 cm.
  3. Insert the plastic spring studs into the wall with a hammer, and then screw in the hexagonal rods.
  4. Finally, push the shelf onto the invisible wall sockets until they are fully inserted into the support rails.

You can use strong glue, such as epoxy, to make the fastener stronger, but if the holes are the right size, glue is not needed.

Materials:

  • laminated plywood
  • threaded rod
  • 2 wall sockets

Tools:

  • pencil and ruler
  • jigsaw
  • Sander
  • drill
  • clamps

A great bookshelf for anyone looking for original design solutions. Production does not take much time, and it will cost inexpensively. The idea is to fix a wooden block with guides on which a plywood frame box is put on the wall. The most reliable way to fasten the support bar is to hammer the anchor into the wall, and then use threaded rods. To achieve greater accuracy, make a cardboard template, which will repeat the contour of the back of the shelf, then you definitely will not lose with the holes.

Bookshelf CACHE
(with secret compartment)

Very Secret Bookshelf)))


The author of the photo jcapili bought a dressing table from Ikea decided to make it secret compartment hidden behind books.

He took a wooden box and attached to it from below the runners, so that the box could easily slide on the shelf
Then he attached books to the front of the drawer (see the photo below for the method of attachment).knizhnaya polka tainik 003

TIP: it is advisable to take for this boring books that no one would think to read;)
As you can see in 19 photos, the master cut out the core from books, this was done in order to facilitate the design, because According to jcapili, books coolly outweigh the drawer when pulled out.
This design can be converted to a shelf with a secret compartment for storing weapons.

ATTENTION!!! Use a sprayer, as when cutting and drilling books, an unusually large amount of fine paper dust is formed, which is very easy to inhale.

Also when drilling need to hold books tight, because if the sheets of the book are pressed against each other loosely, paper chips will accumulate from the drill between the sheets, which will significantly increase the volume of books.

LED corner bookshelfSuch a shelf will create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere in your room.

You can cut the shelves yourself, or you can simply order at the nearest furniture factory.

Just say what you want and they will cut everything for you in the best possible way, it will not cost much. Cheaper than your time for drinking!

BUT, we advise you to responsibly approach the choice of FONT, it should be so bold that the letters have as empty space as possible - so beautiful.

After you fasten the central boards perpendicularly, it will be possible to determine the markings for the LED strip so that the light is distributed evenly. This is nothing complicated, just do not miss this moment.

The central boards (angular) should be painted only on the outside, so that the inside retains its reflectivity.

(Shelf) Bookcase from water pipes
do it yourself

Do-it-yourself pipe bookcase
When choosing which pipes to make the rack, the author of the photo had difficulties:

  • PVC cheap, easy to process, but not elastic enough - will not withstand heavy loadswhich the rack suggests. PVC pipes are suitable for small shelves
  • Galvanized steel pipes, more expensive than PVC, strong, durable, but harder to handle.
  • Copper pipesare fairly easy to process, stronger than PVC and reasonably affordable.

Therefore, the author's choice fell on copper pipes ....

Attention in this design I am absent back diagonal beams, which usually give stability to wooden shelves, here they are replaced by horizontal supports, which are located under the massive shelves (see photo). The diagonal supports are removed for aesthetics to fully open the back wall. In this case, it is still worth attaching the rack to the wall, which will give additional stability.

This pipe rack can be used for books, flowers, toys, a children's room, perfect for tools in the garage, for shoes, as well as for garden tools in the country

See the rest in the visual step-by-step guide below, presented as a gallery.

.... another option for such a shelf

Rack of 3 pipes from floor to ceiling.

This shelf from galvanized pipes belongs to racks, her plus isthat she fixed in the apartment without a single hole !!! in a wall or ceiling, and can be located away from walls. The method of fastening our shelf is based on the clamps between the floor and the ceiling. Rack of 3 pipes from floor to ceilingAccording to the author of the photo, making this shelf with your own hands is not at all difficult. So let's look at the features ...

For the rack, the author used flanges, which, unfortunately, had an inner lip. Therefore, the first thing the author had to remove this part of the flange so that the pipes would pass freely inside the flange (see photo 2-7).

Next, we cut the pipes necessary for us to be long. When measuring the length of pipes that we need, we must take into account the width of the clamp that will stand between the pipes. This clip should not be too short or too long !!!

Rack of 3 pipes from floor to ceilingThe author made a clamp between two pipes (short and long) at the top of the rack, under the stream. But later he came to the conclusion that a short pipe is not needed here, the clamp can be arranged in such a way that it will rest directly against the flange. The presence of a small pipe weakens the stability of the rack (see photo 11). Do not forget to rinse the pipes in soapy water before installation.

Next, cut holes in the shelves for pipes. The author advises putting all the shelves on top of each other, and on the marked upper shelf, as by patternDrill all three holes in all the shelves at once.

Mounting a shelf is not difficult, just collect the shelf from the bottom according to the step-by-step photos of the master class located below in the gallery.
