Look good
Store books
Store small less often used stuff on the back (like Christmas toys, backup light bulbs etc)
Be easy to operate
Be doable with hand tools.
So here we go: we built three of these boxes and one for storing wine bottles. Books and wine go bloody well together especially in a winter evening.
Step 2: Prototype
When doing stuff like this we always start with a cardboard prototype. You can never be really sure how the thing will look only based on paper drawings.
So we found some discarded cardboard in the shed and used it to make a real size prototype of the box.
In case you like our model you can save this step and use our drawings (PDF)

Step 3: Cutting parts
Have the drawings on paper and cut the parts carefully. I used a coping saw for the mortises and then a chisel. You can use the regular saw for this but it's going to make
rough cuts.
However if you have a jigsaw it cuts the plywood better. Just use a blade with small teeth - the ones for cutting metal are good.
We decided for only 1-2 mortises / tenons on a side, otherwise things are harder to fit. But if you use a laser cutter you may be able to do it with more.

Step 5: Putting it all together
Here you will need long clamps. We don't have clamps long enough for this so we improvised a little bit. You can do it too - use some pieces of wood and and cord, then
twist the cord until you get the parts well clamped. Poor man's clamps work good enough for plywood.

Step 7: Finishing
Put some paint and something soft at the bottom to allow easier sliding.
That's it :) For more stuff like this check our DIY blog shedbuilder.info
