OK, time for a (gasp!) woodworking topic :-).
I'm about finished building 7 bookcases for our library in the family room. I want to fasten them to the wall for safety.
The standard angle brackets would work fine, and be high enough that they couldn't be seen from below, but it just didn't seem to fit with the image of the maple/birch cases.
I happened to glance at my Kreg jig the other day and got an idea. Take a 0.75" x 1.5" by 3" piece of nice hardwood, taper it to half a torpedo shape, put a Kreg hole through the large end to fasten to the wall and a couple of vertical screws through the body to fasten to the bookcase. Repeat for other cases.
OK, it's overkill and nobody will see them, but I'll know their there :-).
