Very nice and clean bookcases. Yes, as Dale asks... what is the shelf construction?

Thanks for your reply...

The joinery is made whit a kind of slides in plastic material... I don't know how can traslate.... I put a photo from a catalogue (in italian, sorry)

dale

Interesting. Does this actually allow the shelf to slide out?

Yes, all shelves can be removed. It's an easy and strong way to assemble bookcases. There is no parts visibles in the front of the support, bat it's very sturdy...

Very nice work, Frederico.

Those attachment pieces look like plastic sliding dovetails. Cool idea. I wonder if they are available in the US. I've not seen them before.

Hi Dave, I'm sure you can find these pieces also in US. I bought them from Wurth, a big company that sell any kind of material for woodwoorking and other works.
I have seen in the website of Wurth that also in Canada and USA there are some vendor...

Thank you for the link. I searched their US websites and couldn't find that specific product. I did find some other interesting things, though.

Hello Frederico, happy new year to all,

Beautiful bookcase, very convincing simplicity.

I also found the joinery very interesting but did'nt get anything from the web (exept that pdf in italian), so I made a request at our local Würth store.
Took them a while to find out that this particular product (plastic rail invisible fitting - whatever) can only be ordered if you are a customer based in italy - meaning you need to have a italian cusomer account at Würth. Hm, Could that be for tax reasons?

However, now that we have found you Federico, and you have found this secret market niche, you might make a lot of bucks along the way

cheers

I find that is very strange that this kind of product is only available in Italy......

So, if you want, I can bought for you a lot of pieces and send you.....
I open a new activity.... reseller for US of strange kit of joinery......
