It is possible to make apartment interior more stylish by means of the invisible bookshelf. Such home decoration creates effect of overhang and looks very originally. It can make the invisible shelf for books quite to any person having skills of work with drill.
For production of the invisible shelf first of all it will be necessary to prepare the donor book. It will serve as "support" for other editions in the subsequent. It is the best of all to use for production of the shelf rather big old book with rigid strong crusts.
What tools will be required
To make the invisible shelf and to create effect of the books which have "stuck" to wall, it is necessary to prepare:
- stationery knife and handle;
- big-shaped metal bracket;
- drill and screws with long working part;
- Moment glue;
- tape measure.
Also to be necessary for production of invisible hinged support the pile of books.
Marking under bracket
On this element the donor book in the subsequent will keep on wall. In order that the shelf in the subsequent looked accurate, under bracket in "support" at first it is necessary to make deepenings. For this purpose:
- open back cover of the book and on the page by means of tape measure find the middle;
- do on the center of the page mark by the handle;
- place equal part of bracket on the page and circle its contour;
- cut pages on depth equal to bracket thickness stationery knife on the made contour.
In the presence of deepenings the donor book in the subsequent will be closed densely. But in order that the book support in the subsequent as it is possible adjoined to wall more densely, in it it is necessary to cut through one more slot. For this purpose:
- The bracket corner is placed in the slot which is already cut through in pages. It is necessary to place it so that its vertical part was located towards the top cover of the book.
- Cut out the slot in edge part of the book.
How to fix bracket
After slots are ready, the bracket for production of the invisible shelf needs to be fixed on the book. For this purpose it is inserted at first into the cut-through grooves and densely pressed to the book hand. Further insert drill drill into the openings which are available in bracket and turn on the tool.
It is necessary to drill the book on all thickness. In the turned-out openings, through bracket and the book pass screws and screw up them nuts, using wide sealing gaskets.
That the book when using as support did not reveal further, at the next stage through its thickness drill two more openings at the edges equally spaced from edge of pages. Fastening in this case is also made with use of screws.
How to finish production of the shelf
After placement of the invisible shelf on wall the bracket will be masked by its lower crust. That it did not open it is necessary to use Moment glue or any other reliable.
Crust needs just to miss the mark with glue and to press down from above something heavy. As press it is possible to use, for example, pile of other books. In a couple of hours it is possible to start attaching of the shelf on wall made by the hands.
How to fix on wall
This procedure at production of the invisible shelf is carried out on standard technology. Before fixing bracket, on wall do, using the level or plumb, strictly vertical line.
Further put free part of bracket to wall and do marks through the openings which are available in it. At the final stage it is necessary only to drill slot drill under fixtures in wall and to fix on it bracket with the donor book. Now it is possible to put on the turned-out support pile of books of a little smaller size, than basic.
Helpful advice
As it is possible to notice, make the invisible shelf with own hands actually very simply. If long-shaped bracket for production of such accessory does not manage to be bought, instead of it it is possible to use two big steel corners.
In this case in the book previously it is necessary to cut through, of course, not one, but two slots at the edges. Performing this work it is necessary to try to make so that brackets in the subsequent were located absolutely equally spaced from edge of "support".
