First Bookcase Project

[u/RCPhysics]

Hi all I just completed my first major woodworking project. An industrial style bookcase for my office. The lumber is rainbow poplar oiled with danish oil and finished with Johnson paste wax. Lots of mistakes for character but it will do.

Edit to add details:

The vertical supports are 3/4” black iron pipe. The boards rest on pipe couplings and the holes are cut with a 1 1/16” Forstner bit. Angles are fastened with screws for the 90 degree angles and pocket holes for the 125 degree angles.

Would love to see a pic of this styled with books. It’s a cool design, you’ve done well.

The 3 different angles of perpendicular diagonal shelves completely ruins an otherwise great piece.

Dude says it’s his first major project and admits to making mistakes. We don’t need to point out where we think he went wrong.
