Build an Under-Window Bookcase

We have posted a brand-new set of free woodworking plans, for an under-window bookcase. This two-shelf bookcase measures 48-inches wide, 29-inches tall and 12-inches deep, and is typically made from either pine or oak, but can be fashioned from any desired hardwood.

This under-window bookcase is listed as requiring a moderate ability level, but anyone with basic woodworking skills and the appropriate tools can successfully complete this bookcase. It is a fun project to build, and is not only very useful, but should be a piece that you'll be happy to display in your home or office. The plans can easily be modified to make a full-height bookcase with a minimum of additional effort.
