You're being to generous. Plenty of people buy books never actually expecting to read them if they're honest with themselves, but they buy them for aesthetics or because they feel they should read it even when it has little personal interest to them.

Yes,the humanists and reformers were more in your face, antagonistic, and edgy than a redditor. Rabelais had to be by disciplined over and over by his superiors for being a subversive edgelord.

The only new books I have come from publishers looking for a review or friends thanking me for a favor. In my entire career I may have purchased a handful of new books because there was no other option.

When I bought the theory of the four movements by fourier or Sarrasine by Balzac are two of those rare occasions.

At least in the USA, cheap melamine covered chip board bookshelves you assemble yourself, are usually readily available at Superstores like Walmart, at home centers like Lowes and Home Depot, and sometimes at large drug stores.
The shelves are sort of shit, but they work, as long as you’re not an idiot, and can manage to assemble them.
Ikea is another option.
The cost for the shelves, whether from Ikea or a home center is usually as cheap or cheaper than buying the lumber to make your own shelves.

We're getting rid of our old Ikea bookshelves on Facebook Marketplace for 20 dollars each, we paid like 69.99 for each of them. THey're still in good shape.

My friend/neighbor owns a mill and I get lumber for free for helping out over there.

[Anonymous No.19595678]

>>19595669
So I guess my intention was to relay that you could find clever ways to get free lumber, but you'd never be able to put them together, square them, and be satisfied without at least $500-$1000 worth the tools and little experience with wood.

You might be able to get predimensioned lumber or glued up panels for relatively inexpesive, or even plywood, but you'd still need a good way to crosscut, rip, clamp, finish and fasten everything.

I made extensive use of the chainsaw, circular saw, table saw and the planer to make my walnut shelves I've been posting.

The chainsaw helped to cut the 12+ foot long boards in half that were 12" wide so that I could handle them more efficiently.

How come you didn't do this before putting the books in? You're gonna have to remove the books anyway to rub the oil in.

[Anonymous No.19596864]

>>19595935
Not oil, shellac, and you don't finish until the end because you have to manhandle the wood. Little boxes and plywood things don't need this, but lining up real wood is an ordeal.
You have to bend and hammer to get the trim straight as wood has a tendency to bend along it's radial axis and bow, twist, cup, etc as the weather and humidity change, both indoors and outdoors.

I already sealed under the shelves, won't be doing a fine , hand rubbed finish under the books.

In laws will be here for two weeks and we had to make room in the office for them, so I put all the books up for now.
