Inputs
Sizes are computed from these fixed inputs: kerf (in) 0.125, max shelf span (in) 32, target (in) 30, 9.25, 36, tol (in) 2. A different gauge or stock makes a different size; the counts do not change.
Brief
“I'd like a 3-shelf bookcase in pine, about 30 inches wide, 36 tall and 9.25 deep, painted a soft sage green with a natural pine top. Simple screwed butt joints are fine, and I want a small toe kick at the bottom.”
Checks
The counts, part sizes and placement were checked by computation on 30 September 2026 (verified on attempt 2); the piece has not yet been made by hand. If yours comes out differently, tell us and we will look at it.
