Bookcase with threaded wood joinery

That is a brilliant idea. You did a great job on this. I like it a lot!

I like the idea of the book shelves extending to the wall to use gravity as a force as well. :-) Nice way to use your nw toy….LOL!

Neat idea. Different approach.

You’re thinking outside the box… Or bookcase. I’ve got a 1” tap and die set I bought a long time ago. I’ve used them for mallet handles, paper towel holders, and lots more stuff, but never anything like using them for holding a bookcase together. Nice work!

I really like the offset mass / gravity idea. First thing I saw – hit me like a brick!. Cool.
What thread size and pitch did you use?

Thanks everyone for your comments. linjay – its 3/4” inch thread. it was made by the Beall jig so i don’t know the pitch. as i said – the brilliant design was not mine. its surprisingly easy to make and very stable because of the dadoes.
next i plan on making a trestle table with nuts instead of wedges, to complete the look!

Cool way to join the shelves. I just had an idea on how I might use this for a project that needs to break down for storage. Thanks!
