Contemporary Bookshelves

These mid-century modern bookshelves turned out absolutely incredible! This video shows you exactly how to build your own contemporary bookshelf unit.  I show step by step on to create mid-century modern bookshelf brackets out of walnut.  This wooden bookshelf system can be customized to various configurations.  I also show just how strong these bookshelf brackets are by conducting a stress test.  The results were pretty unbelievable.  Additionally, I give a great tip on an easy way to hang wooden shelves on the wall.

I knew that I wanted bookshelves for my home office.  I also wanted to challenge my design abilities and make something that I don’t commonly build.  As I started designing my bookshelf, it sort of turned into something with a contemporary look.  It wasn’t my intention to make bookshelves with a mid century modern flare, but you have to let the design lead you.  I’m so glad that I did because I love the look! This gives my home office a minimalist feel and helps with my office organization.
