These instructions will guide you through the process to make a very simple, yet fully functional, bookcase using basic tools. This is a great project for someone just getting into woodworking or even someone that’s a seasoned pro. Every living space can definitely use a set of book shelves and, what’s even better, this one comes with a secret drawer! Behind that decorative molding is a hidden compartment that pulls out for you to hide away your valuables. Give the build video a watch to see how I took relatively cheap materials and still ended up making a beautiful bookcase. And you could too!
