If you have any corner clamps, it’s helpful to clamp everything square until the glue dries so you can make sure it doesn’t dry up crooked. Then, I glued and screwed the bottom panel between the sides, and screwed the sides into the top to make one large box. I drilled pocket holes into the top ends of the side panels and the middle divider and into both ends of the bottom panel.īefore attaching, I applied iron on edge banding to the front edges of all these plywood pieces and both the front and sides of the top.

I assembled this bookshelf carcass using wood glue and ¾″ pocket holes with 1 ¼″ pocket hole screws to make it quick and easy. For exact measurements, be sure to grab the plans over on Build Something. Once the plywood was ripped into strips, I cut down two side panels, a top, bottom, and middle divider from the 11″ wide strips on the miter saw. Please check it out as it will be helpful for not only this project, but any future plywood projects you tackle. I’ve got a detailed post here about how to quickly, easily, and accurately cut down a plywood sheet. Step 1: Cut Down One Plywood Sheet for Bookshelf Carcass (1) ¾″ full sheet of plywood (you will have some leftover).

I’ve posted several plans over there I’d love for you to check out, including these.
