There are plans that are available for building one of these shelves in your home. This will take about a weekend to complete. The first step in building a corner shelf is to find plans and figure out dimensions. The next step will be to secure the materials that will be used to build. There will definitely be a need for some tools. A screwdriver, a saw, a hammer and safety goggles. Power tools can be used to save some time and frustration but are not necessary. Building your own shelf can be a very rewarding experience. Also an added bonus of building leaves open a lot of customization features that can be added. Of course saving money is always a plus.
