What is the charm of easy DIY at home?

From remote work to small toy boxes for children, in many cases, in your life, "If you can do DIY.But DIY is easy depending on how to prepare the ingredients.Handmade furniture can be a perfect size and design for your home, and there is an advantage that children have a sense of "thinking and devising the process according to their purpose".In DIY work, care must be taken, such as preventing small children from approaching tools and parts.If you can't help, it's a good idea to consult in advance what kind of design you would like.If you are a child who can use tools, be careful with your parents and children.This bookshelf is actually produced by DIY beginner writer and junior high school son.

How to make basic simple bookshelves

First, let's make two -stage bookshelves that can be placed on a study desk, which is easy for beginners.In the lower row, a personal computer and tablet are designed to be smooth.

[Finish size of bookshelf]

The finished size of the bookshelf to be made this time is 600mm wide / 450mm in height / 250mm depth.It is a size that can put tall books and notebooks.

[material]

・ 2 × 4 (two -by -four) wood ... 1820 × width 89 × thickness 38 mm 1 bottle ・ Wood (pine material, etc.)… height 600 x width 500 x thickness 18 mm 1 sheet, shelves "Labrico 2 × 4 shelf support(Single)… 4 set screws (about 15mm in length)… 16 bottles * Change the necessary materials according to the size you want to make.* 2 × 4 wood is easy to get and is a convenient wood that is often used in DIY.

First, prepare a board for the shelf and a 2x4 wood for pillars.I purchased the material of the above size, but the sales size varies depending on the sales floor.It is OK if you can get the necessary wood parts.It is possible to produce without a shelf, but this time we used Labrico shelves that make it easier to assemble.

Cut the wood.It is difficult to cut it straight, so it is recommended that you cut it at the home improvement store you purchased.It is often not possible to cut the brought material.Let's cut it when the timber is purchased.This time, I was able to cut it for 30 yen per cut (the cut fee varies depending on the home center).

・ Shelf board (upper stage)… 250 vertical x 600mm 1 sheet ・ Shelf board (lower stage)… length 250 x horizontal 524mm 1 piece ・ Pillar… 432mm 4

Once you have the necessary wood parts, just assemble them.If there is a burr on the surface or cut point of the wood, apply a paper so that it will not be injured.

After cutting

The size can be changed according to the location and wood you want to use.If you want to make it in your favorite size, first determine the width / height / depth of the bookshelf you want to make, and calculate the thickness of the wood from the finished size.

・ Width of bookshelves = shelves (upper) width ・ Shelf board (upper) width -38 × 2 = Shelf board (lower) width ・ The height of the bookshelf -18 (thickness of the shelf board) = length of pillars

[DIY equipment]

・ Ruler or major, pencil, kiri driver (easy with impact driver) ・ Supply

The basic tools are available at 100 uniforms.

[How to make a simple bookshelf]

Mark with a pencil to be horizontal, and attach the shelf part "Labrico 2x4 Shelf Support (Single)" where you want to add the top and second row of the pillar.Since 2x4 is passed through the parts, it is less likely to be diagonal, and you can easily attach a shelf.

Drill a hole lightly with a drill and fix it with the attached screw.

"Labrico 2x4 Shelf Support (Single)" has a wide variety of colors, so I tried using four colors to make it colorful.All are smoky, so even if you use multicolor, there is calm.

Finally assembled.Use the screws shorter than the thickness of the shelves, without using the attached screws.First, attach the first stage in the upside down.

Lie down and attach the second stage.Just turn the screw, so it's done in no time!By using parts for the shelf, I was able to make it firmly without a screw head on the surface.

Assembly is about 30 minutes.Since the color of the parts is changed, the image changes when you change the direction.

When you actually use it

There is no problem even if you put a dictionary or school bag because there is a sense of stability without wandering.It is enough depth for A4 size clear files and notebooks.If you place only short books such as dictionaries, you can increase the storage capacity by increasing the position of the second stage.

PCs and tablets can be stored on a bookshelf, but if you close it and go smoothly, you can use it more easily, making it easier to use the desk.You can store power, keyboards, and writing utensils.

What is the arrangement of a children's bookshelf?

If you master how to make the basic bookshelf, you can make various arrangements.

Arrangement idea 1: Image arrangement with paint, varnish, etc.

There is a natural atmosphere even with wood, but it is OK to change the image with water -based paint, colored varnish, wax, etc.There is also the advantage of making it difficult to get dirty.Paint and paint should be done before assembling if possible.

Arrangement idea 2: Bookshelf and mini table

If you change the height and depth, it will be a mini table in the same way.If there is a depth, it can be used not only for books but also for storage of miscellaneous goods.

Arrangement idea 3: For Land Cellracks and Book Shelves

Make the pillars longer, increase the number of shelves to land cellulacks and full -fledged bookshelves.

Picture book racks and large -capacity telework storage shelves are easy

With almost the same way as a bookshelf, you can also create picture book racks and large capacity shelfs up to the ceiling.It looks difficult because it is a large size, but it is surprisingly easy if you use parts.Of course, plenty of storage is possible.

To DIY for a large size bookshelf

To make a shelf up to the ceiling, the parts are required.2 × 4 wood is used as a pillar, and the ceiling is firmly tight.It is OK for rental housing because it can be removed without damaging the wall with the grass and screws.

How to make a picture book rack to the ceiling

I also made a picture book rack using the parts.I will introduce how to make it.

[material]

・ 2 × 4 wood… Length 3650 × Width 89 × 38mm thick 2 bottles ・ Shelf receiving “Labriico 2 × 4 shelf support (single)”… 4 sets ・ Tsuri parts “Labrico 2 × 4 adjuster (powerful)”… 2 sets・ Irar (screws if it is not included) * Change the necessary materials according to the size you want to make.Depending on the height of the ceiling and the width of the shelf, you will need more than 3 pieces of wood.* Use the strength of the stuffy parts that match the weight of the shelf.* Please make sure that it is not loose while using it.

[Tree map]

This is an example using a 2x4 wood with a length of 3650mm.From the floor to the ceiling, the pillar is the pillow that subtracts the length required for the 2x4 adjuster (powerful) set.The height to the ceiling may be different depending on the location, so it is safe to measure in multiple places.

[How to make]

If the wood has burrs, it will be smoothly prepared with paper.Place the columns on the floor and attach the shelves to the shelves so that the shelves are horizontal.

This also uses the shelves "Labrico 2x4 Shelf Support (Single)".When the shelf is accepted, attach the shelf with the attached screw.If you work in a direction that can be installed as it is, it is easy to start up.

Attach an iron bar to the upper shelf.Iron bar is OK with towel hangers that can be obtained even at 100 uniforms.When the main unit is completed, set "Labrico 2x4 adjuster (powerful)" on the top and bottom of the pillar while lying down.

The screw is attached, but this time, paste the attached lower pad on the bottom of the lower cap, and insert each cap up and down of the 2x4 wood to be the pillar.

Launch a picture book rack.Check if the shelf board is horizontal and whether the pillar is vertical.If there is no problem, turn the adjustment screws and turn the pillars carefully to prevent the ceiling from being damaged.Since we do not use tools in the tight process, it was much easier than the image.

Complete

A large picture book rack was also assembled in less than an hour.In addition to picture books, books are arranged next to the telework desk, and there are many places where you can use them as partitions.

This time, I use 2x4 wood as a shelf.I stored paperback books.

This is a bookshelf with two 2x4 wood on a shelf.The depth is 178mm, and it is easy to place dictionaries and ordinary size books.The depth is narrower than the general bookshelf, so even when you want a thin bookshelf.

This is a tight bookshelf to the ceiling with 2 x 4 wooden shelves and shelves.This is a bookshelf set up in the storage room, which is quite large.The tiny parts are "Labrico 2x4 adjuster (normal type)".Instead of shelves, we use scraps and fix the two pillars.
