You’ve started something now! Liz did a sketch…
So we need 4,500mm of bookcase at 2,100mm tall with 6 shelves of 300mm in each bay. Plus a draw in the bottom cubby. Plus a top.
So that’s 78 shelves, 15 draws.
Why did I show Liz this? Oh and she also ‘likes’ the birch ply best. Oh dear gawd!
Chaley-
Better sell a kidney then.

Just in case it's not obvious, I didn't use birch ply

I would like to build a free standing plywood bookcase. It'll be from 18mm wisa plywood, and I was considering routing out an 18mm channel, 4mm deep in the verticals and the back in which each shelf can slot. This would mean I don't have to use any visible fixings.
Would 4mm deep be enough to support the shelves? The span of each shelf is 437mm though I could always bring that down by adding in another vertical.
It's inspired by this Jonathan Tuckey / Malin and Goetz store in Islington - but I can't see how those shelves are held in place. Anyone have any ideas?
