We have a library in our house. I take a book and put it on top of the bookcase thats built into the wall where no one can see it, and he comes in and tells me what book it is. How does he do this? He says it’s easy.

First, I am not a woodworker. Would a small, basic bookcase be a good starting project?
Because I’m visiting my parents for a few months, I can have access to a garage full of basic woodworking tools.
I’m not envisioning anything in particular, just something with inexpensive wood and no wider than three feet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve got a bookcase from Ikea that I would like to paint. It is birch veneer. What kind of paint should I use? will I need to sand it first?

My teacher wants me to pick my plan, but I don’t know what to do! So, I just need one that’s simple enough for me to do, and isn’t too… huge, like all the other ones I’ve looked at. Thanks.

What kind of paint to use for a bookcase?
Filed Under bookcases | 8 Comments
We bought a nice unfinished alder bookcase and are painting it white to match a desk that we just bought.
We’ve been using an Easy Living Latex paint that was color matched and recommended for us by someone at Osh.
On another question, someone suggested that latex paint is not a good choice for furniture and that we should’ve went with an oil-based paint.
Can latex do a decent job? Should we switch to an oil-based paint? Assuming, we switch to an oil-based paint, do we have to sand off every bit of the latex paint and primer? Or can we just paint a coat of oil-based paint on top of the existing coat of latex?
Is there a book I can buy that will explain things like this to me?

I am buying a bookcase with rugged Baltic birch construction that has a smooth UV finish. I want to repaint it to light pink color to match her room. What is the easiest way to do it, please advise.
