subadei February 12, 2008 at 10:47 pm Wow. Looks great. I’d suggests mollying it to a wall, given it’s rather impressive girth.
Steve February 12, 2008 at 10:50 pm What do you mean by Mollying? I do intend to bolt it to the wall studs, the center of gravity is going to be way high…
subadei February 13, 2008 at 12:05 am You’ve answered my question. Mollying refers to molly which refers to toggle, I.e. a screw with a butterfly nut. I’m guessing that bookcase is around 4 ft wide and so you’ll likely hit at least two studs.
Steve February 13, 2008 at 12:13 am Gotcha. It is four feet wide (46.5 inches actually) going into a drywall/paneling/stud wall.
