How to build a simple shelf?

1) Find some bricks and shelf boards. The shelf boards should all be the same length; if not, cut them to the same length. 2) Choose a suitable place for the shelf.

Place another two bricks together on the opposite side to form the base of the shelving. 4) Create the shelving. You’ll place the first shelf board onto the base bricks. 5) Add the next shelf board.
