Howdy!

One of my things is reusable items. Every time I start to do something around the house, I've forced myself to look at what i'm not using and see if it can be used for what I need.

This has been working out well enough. I made a temporry credenza in my office. Put a cap on my car's wheel (to prevent some break dust), Received some nice media shelves from a friend. Now I'm getting ready to work on a couple (or a large) bookshelves.

I also have a blog I try to post on every day or so. GreenFrugality and USA Made

Hanging Bookshelf

It got me to thinking about how to build a bookshelf with my poor carpentry skills.

Mostly this consists of hardware store parts.

3ft threaded rods around $7.50(cut to fit depth of the shelf)
bunch o' nuts about $1.25.
30ft of chain around $17.70 (be sure to get something with some serious weight rating, mine is either 300 or 600lb.)
