Quick and Easy way
Obtain a small wooden bookcase.
Screw four caster wheels to the bottom corners of the bookcase.
Enjoy.
Slower Method
Obtain needed materials and cut boards as listed below.
Measure and mark 12 inch (30.5 cm) increments along the 54 inch (137.2 cm) side boards. Bookcase_363.JPG
Measure and mark your shelf angles on the side boards. Take care to mark one board with 95 degree angles and the other with 85 degree angles from your marks (they will be opposite to each other, and therefore the angles will match when shelves are placed.)
Glue and clamp your 1x1 strips along the angled lines.
Allow the glue to dry. Remove clamps.
Screw at least two 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) screws through the 1x1's and into the sides for strength. Pre-drill the holes if working with a hardwood.
Place 30 inch (76.2 cm) shelf on top of the 1x1 shelf support on each side piece and pre drill screw holes through the shelf and into the 1x1 shelf support.
Glue shelf to the 1x1 on both sides and screw it into place.
Repeat for remaining 3 shelves.
Place plywood along back side and glue and screw into place.
Place four caster wheels at the bottom corners of your bookcase. Fasten in place with screws.
Paint or finish as desired.
