High-Capacity Wooden Bookshelf Blueprints

  • Status: Pending
  • Prize: $190
  • Entries Received: 100

Contest Brief

I am seeking an experienced craftsman to produce detailed blueprints for a large, wooden bookshelf. Your design should plan for a bookshelf that is:

1. Made of wood: Emphasize using high-quality timber to achieve an elegant, sturdy finish.
2. High capacity: Include more than 5 shelves to accommodate a large book collection.
3. Tall structure: The design should be above 7 feet to fully utilize vertical space.

Ideal Skills:
- Experience in woodworking and design
- Understanding of structural stability
- Ability to produce clear, detailed blueprints with precise measurements.

Be sure to consider optimal weight distribution and ease of assembly in the blueprint to ensure the final product is simultaneously practical, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing. The bookshelf should be not only a storage unit but also an exquisite piece of homeware.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the above is just freelancer's AI text. What I want is designs for wall-mounted bookshelves to fill a vaulted space in my loft with a variety of shelf sizes to accommodate books, artwork, and various knick-knacks, based on a sketch I will attach. I intend each shelf to be made of 10"x2" or 10"x1" stained wood unless a variation is recommended. The wall is vaulted, some of the shelves are at diagonals for an interesting design, the shelves will open up and overlap a door on the left, and will go around the right corner to make a more conventional shelf on the right wall. The underlying artistic message of the design is an existential 4-part narrative that suggests three-quarters of my own life and an unknown future, and perhaps around the right corner is a fifth part, the afterlife. The design also refers to and creatively improves upon shelves my artistic and eccentric mom designed in my childhood home. Don't overthink it as the stability and structural details of the design should be prioritized if you can't accommodate some detail of my sketch. Let me know if I missed some needed measurements or if there are any other questions. I will be hiring a local contractor to follow the designs as reasonably as possible.

    Dear Sir, I am working for this on urgent basis. I had questions: 1. how much weight do you expect on the shelfs?Can i take max 5 kg (11lb) on each shelf? the connection, thickness, vertical support all depends on this. 2. Is it okay if the supporting bolts/jacks are visible below the shelf? or do you want a completely hidden bolts/aesthetic look. Could you kindly start a chat with me for discussion?

    I've had it with AI-generated posts and content. I'm happy with quick AI images to give an impression but I want to see the engineering drawings YOU can do. I will be heavily rejecting the copied images, ideas, and texts soon.

    Everybody please ignore my incorrect shelf widths (3+4+6+4) and just use similar proportions. The other measurements are correct.

    Use 2"x10" boards please.

    On the plus side, I do have a few favorites. Show me your experience and credentials with producing engineering designs.

      For this purpose please define load. Mean how much kg load will be placed on this board. That load calculation will define the thickness of board.

      I think you shoul use 1''x10'' because In terms of design, I think the thinner one is always more elegant and stylish.
