Bookcase with a question

[colincott]

Here is a bookcase that I made and have a question with it.

For the people that say to not bother with a saw rail and just use a saw board.

How would you have cut the 88 shelves the same size without a table saw

I used my EZ rail and an attachment called the Cabinet maker

They're nice, Colin. How did you fix the shelves to the sides?

Cheers

On the one below you will see part of the unit not fitted yet.
when you get to this stage, make sure you call the friend you should have before you start putting glue on .
As I did and had to get it up no my own, Just

[paulchapman]

You can probably do this as well

Cheers ;D

I wish Paul
Just strong and stupid

In the first few pic's, the shelves are screwed but to join the sections, that was dont with biscuit ( this was why I had to get that middle section in quick )

Anyway, the finished job looks very nice

Cheers

Looks good.
I'd say, if you've got it then of course use it, but if you haven't, a sawboard is a viable (and cheap) alternative.
For 88 lengths I'd add a long stop of some sort i.e. cut one end then turn the sawboard around with the stop against cut end, and cut the other end.
Or something mounted on the bench top praps, made with with the usual scraps of ply nailed on etc a la Nicki. Come to think Nicki would screw/bolt them on very carefully with countersunk holes!
One way or another it would be easy, fast and accurate but would take longer to set up than a rail system - assuming you've got all the bits, accessories, etc

cheers

Hi Paul

Thank goodness I did not have to paint it ;D.

I have all of the bits that I need at the moment and like you have said in a round about fashion that time is money

Splendid Colin, as said painting would be a NIGHTMARE !!
Quite alot of work involved there, Did you do it on site ??

Hell no

It was just under 11 boards of MDF

I did most of the work in the workshop and then fitted the rest on site
