I?m making plans for some built-in bookcases. I want adjustable shelves, but once the books are placed, the shelves are generally not adjusted for many years. The usual 5mm holes spaced bottom to top are tedious to drill (even with the Lee Valley jig) and unsightly. Metal pilasters routed into the inside are easy enough to mount but not much nicer looking.
I?ve been thinking about maybe using headless screw pins of some kind that I could reposition if necessary, filling the old holes. I?m thinking of shelves about 18 inches long, probably with a slot routered in each end so they?d slide over and conceal the screws. Has anyone seen such headless screws? Other advice?
