I want to make a bookcase running floor to ceiling and going across the width of a 3.5m room. I reckon the easy way to do this is fix vertical boards and to add shelves using either dowels or support pins. Would anyone use either of these techniques? If so can you recommend a good jig for use...

Thanks Deluks - it seems simple doesn't it..... but..... I think I need plans. I've gone down the route of basic instructions before and come a cropper, due to lack of experience and not being able to see problems cropping up before they do. I'm good and methodical at following plans so I'd...
