Boat bookcase 2
Roughly cut the back (bottom) out of the sheet of plywood. Now it will be easier to handle. The height is just under 6 feet (70 inches). Width is 28 inches. Depth of shelves will be around 11 inches.
Thinking about this, there is no reason the back needed to be 3/4 inch plywood...silly plans...who needs them? Most furniture/cabinetry has 1/4 inch plywood on the back. The SHELVES should be sturdy, of course. Once I add those shelves and sides this is going to be pretty heavy. Oh well, not going to go back now.

If a correction can be made early in the program then it should be done. The thinner plywood should be used, not all furniture should be heavy. Although, could the high weight of the back determine how heavy the books can be? Is the back load bearing?
Well, In order to have curved sides I need to use a thinner plywood for the sides. It could be that the thinner sides reduce the load capacity of the shelves. A thicker back may be important in this case. But I am not going to be loading this thing up with tons of books.
