Nice work, Paul, but do you think the pine will hold the weight without sagging?
 
Doc

Only time will tell. The shelves are removable and can be replaced if any sag. I filled one of the large shelves with the biggest books and it had no sag. Most of the books she has are small novels that are at the most 6x10 the shelves for the books are 12" deep so the added width should help with the support. I can add supports to the backs of the shelves but I like the look of just the plank.

Depending on how deep they are, you could rip, and biscuit them and that would add strength.  Assuming you're not past the finishing stage by now.
 
Great job, it looks really good!

Nice job Paul. I really like the "in-progress" pics.

I guess I need to get busy on the bookcases my wife requested.

Stain and two coats of poly to the frame work is done. The shelves have been stained and need to have the poly applied however we got hit with some surprise snow yesterday and last night so my outdoor spraying is on hold till this week.

That is where we stand as of today. I got the living room back in order just in time for the AFC Championship party at my house!

Looks great bro...it fits the room perfectly. Not too big and not too small.

The shelf is finally complete and she is very happy with the final result. We moved all the DVD's and Books on to it last night.

I'm still a bit shocked you didn't add any recessed lighting to them... :whistling:

I was waiting for someone to say that... LOL I contemplated it a bunch times but then figured I could cut them in at a later date when money isn't so scarce.

Nice Paul!

Isn't it funny how they look at you with that "Are you sure you know what you are doing" face when you start, and then think you are brilliant when you finish....

It's a great feeling to see them do happy in the end!
