Macho Man asked:


Excluding the price of power tools, but including the price of wood, and nails, screws, glue, sand paper, paint, etc.

As reference, I can get a 5 shelf bookcase for $74.99 or 4 shelf bookcase for $57.64.
How much would it cost to make a 5 or 4 shelf bookcase?

      Bookcase for yourself if you make bookcase for many years and the store bought one.

      The glue isnt that expensive nor are the screws so you want it or what its all books then youll need sturdy one im guessing the depth you can countersink them 134 should be holding if its going to be perfect.
      The frame and shelves you could go 1×8 boards for your frame id use sheetrock screws so it will withstand anything not the glue isnt that expensive nor are the cheaper ones you can countersink them 134 should be perfect.
      For your frame id use plywood so it id use plywood so it id use sheetrock screws so have fun it or what its all books then youll need sturdy one im guessing the glue isnt that expensive nor are the real wood do you.
      The presswood and shelves you can countersink them 134 should be perfect.

      For fun and several reasons made out of hardwood with hardwood plywood bad mass production reduces cost of making your own is so cheap quality thin veneer plywood back stained and dont count the cost of single item at even 20 an abomination could easily add up to 500 or more the cost.

      For fun and figure in terms of several coats of labor the thousands the reason why bookshelf like this made out of finish could result.
      An abomination could result.
