Final Project Materials and Cost (Bret)

I have narrowed down my final project to building a book shelf. I want this bookshelf to be relatively small. I want the length to be around 2 to 3 feet, the height to be around 4 ft, and the width being 1 foot. I also want to make this bookshelf out of 1x4's, 2x4's, and a sheet of plywood.

I'm going to want 4 8 foot long 2x4s, 1 sheet of 23/32 in. x 4ft. x 8ft. RTD Sheathing syp, and 3 8 foot long 1x4s.

According to Home Depot's Website:
1 sheet of 23/32in plywood will cost around $20.
The 2x4s will cost around $12.68
The 1x4s will cost around $10.95
 Estimated total cost= $43.63

  1. The bookshelf is a good project. I encourage you to re-think your material choices. Yuo spec all construction grade lumber and plywood. It will be nearly impossible to construct anything like the reference picture from that kind of lumber. The ply is a C/D variety. Not too pretty.
