Thanks for this article, I’m almost done with my second bookshelf of this design. The first one was a great learning experience, the second one is much better

You could do the layout manually, but cultist pro is a great tool, and free for something this small. I used to to build my built-ins.

Good job, Sean. And I’m glad to see the cross-posting to Instructables (another great web site). I need to build a bookshelf and I’ll be cribbing a few ideas from here for sure.
