Lack Book shelf
Materials: Lack
Description: To construct the bookshelf I took several Lack shelves. The challenge was to cut them to the right size. Therefore, I had to remove the end-caps by heat and, after cutting, replace them.
To allow precise assembly I installed first a chipboard wall.
To achieve a higher weight tolerance of many books, I used aluminum pipes, placed as seen on the pics.

Nice!
ReplyDeleteI want to modify the length of some lack shelves I have and your techique seems great.
So you glued a chipboard piece to the end-cap of the shelf and then glued the whole thing together?
Some more photos would have been nice as well as, more in-depth instructions as well. Not being a mind reader, I cant figure out how this was done.
ReplyDeleteWow Anonymous, how rude! You are not Alex's client!If it was my hack I wouldn't be in a hurry to help you. The correct way to request more (free)information is "I'm a little uncertain on how this was constructed, if you have a chance would you mind posting some further instructions". If you don't understand something, acknowledge it rather than seeking to blame others.
