Is It Cheaper To Build Your Own Bookcase?
The short answer is yes, it is cheaper to build your own bookcase. The long answer is that it depends on how much time and effort you are willing to put into the project. If you are the type of person who enjoys woodworking and takes pride in creating something from scratch, then building your own bookcase will be cheaper than buying one. However, if you are not the handy type and would prefer to leave the project to someone else, then buying a bookcase might be the better option for you.
Building your own bookcase is also a great way to get exactly what you want. You can customize the size, shape, and style of your bookcase to fit your specific needs. If you are a avid reader and have a large book collection, you can build a bookcase that is big enough to hold all of your books. Or, if you have limited space in your home, you can build a smaller bookcase that fits perfectly in the corner of your room.

What Is The Difference Between A Bookshelf And A Bookcase?
The difference between a bookshelf and bookcase is simple. A bookshelf is a piece of furniture with horizontal shelves that are used to store books. A bookcase is a piece of furniture that has both shelves and doors. While the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two pieces of furniture.
Here’s a closer look at the differences between a bookshelf and bookcase.
A bookshelf is a piece of furniture with horizontal shelves that are used to store books. The shelves are usually adjustable, so you can customize the height of each shelf to accommodate different size books. Bookshelves are typically made from wood, but they can also be made from metal or plastic.
A bookcase is a piece of furniture that has both shelves and doors. The shelves are used to store books, just like a bookshelf, but the doors help keep the books dust-free and protected from damage. Bookcases are also typically made from wood, but they can be made from other materials as well.

What Kind Of Wood Should I Use To Build A Bookshelf?
When it comes to building a bookshelf, you have a few different options when it comes to the type of wood you use. Here are a few things to consider when making your decision:
-The strength of the wood. You want to make sure that the wood you choose is strong enough to support the weight of the books you’ll be putting on the shelves.
-The look of the wood. The type of wood you choose will also affect the overall look of the bookshelf. If you want a more rustic look, for example, you might choose a different type of wood than if you were going for a more modern look.
-The cost of the wood. Obviously, you’ll want to consider how much the wood will cost before making your final decision.
Keep these things in mind when choosing the type of wood for your bookshelf and you’ll be sure to make the right choice!
-Pine is a strong and affordable option that can give your bookshelf a rustic look.
-Oak is another strong option that can give your bookshelf a more traditional look.
-Maple is a beautiful option that will give your bookshelf a more modern look.
No matter which type of wood you choose, make sure it is something that you are happy with and that will last for years to come!
Simple Bookshelf from Stair Treads
Subscribe to This Old House on YouTube
Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva and host Kevin O’Connor use stair treads to create a simple bookshelf in Build It.
This simple bookcase was designed to be built using a circular saw, a cordless drill/driver, a block plane, and a chisel. Because the shelf is made out of veneered stair treads, it’s designed to be paint grade, not stain grade. All of the materials for this project, including pine stair treads, 1×4 pine, 1/4” plywood, 3 1/8” trim head screws, and 5d box nails can be purchased at home centers.
How Deep Should A Bookcase Be?
The answer to that question depends on a few things. First, consider the size of your books. If you have large hardcover books, you’ll need a deeper bookcase. Second, take into account the height of the ceilings in your home. The higher the ceilings, the taller your bookcase can be. Finally, think about how many books you plan on storing in the bookcase. If you have a lot of books, you might need more than one bookcase.
