Fully parametric french cleat book shelf

thingiverse

This is a parametric book shelf for a french cleat system. You can export SVG for the sides to lasercut them. Needed parts: * plywood for the sides, e.g. 8mm * board: massive wood, glulam, strong plywood ("multiplex"), MDF * 4 wood bolts (diameters depends on width of board, e.g. 10mm bolt for 18mm width). * 4 wood screws The side parts should be strong enough to support the weight. I use 8mm for 220mm x 800mm board size and 6mm for 140mm * 350mm size. To fix the sides to the shelf board, use screws and bolts. * Mark the holes in the board and then drill them: * bolt with bolt diameter, e.g. 10mm. Drill deep enough so the bold won't stick out the side later. * Screw with 10-20% less then diameter, e.g. 5mm * add same glue on the bolts before pressing them into the board * you may also add some glue on the sides of the board
