Weekend Project: d.i.y. floating bookshelf

We've already blogged about the Conceal Bookshelf, and how it was flying off the shelves at the MoMA Design Store, and now we're passing along the instructions for making your very own d.i.y. version of that "invisible" display. According to the folks at VideoJug, all you need is:
  • your largest, least-loved book
  • an L-bracket
  • a utility knife
  • a drill
  • a Phillip's head screwdriver
  • small flathead wood screws
  • large flathead wood screws
  • tape measure
  • glue
The whole endeavor actually looks pretty easy, and could save you a few bucks if you, too, fell for the "Conceal." (It might also inspire you to carve pages out of another thick, unloved book to serve as an old-school hiding place.) Check it out below.

No, I'm not turning into a Buddhist monk, giving away everything except the shirt on mine and my kids' backs. I've just come to my senses. If I own a lot less, life will become simpler. -Blond & Blithe
