Thank for this plan, I needed something in the corner of my living room and this ended up being perfect. I followed the steps for the frame of the bookshelf as the plan outlined but made a few other changes:
1. I put the EMT pipe a bit lower than Ana's plan, more like how the RH shelf looked. I drilled a hole 5 inches from the top of each shelf, and about 3/4 of an inch from the back (5 inches up, 3/4 over)
2. I used flat iron spray paint for the EMT pipe and caps
3. I used caps instead of having the pipe ends sticking out
4. I used 4'' rigid caster wheels, found on etsy for $15 each
5. I used weathered oak stain
6. I couldn't find the right size corner brackets so I bought a 1.5'' wide steel flat bar from Lowes and made them myself. I cut the bar at 6'', put it in a vise and hammered it in the middle to be at 45 degrees, and drilled holes for the screws.

Looks great!
I home brew myself and I think this is a fantastic idea! How did you go about putting the label on the side?

Thanks!
Actually, it was quite, quite easy. You just have to run wax paper through your inkject printer. I followed this post here:

I've done the transfer a couple of times. The possibilities are endless!

Awesome Christmas Present Project
I just finished making some similar wooden 6-pack holders as Christmas Gifts and they are awesome. These are such a great idea for a homemade present too. Take a look at my slightly different take on this project at http://www.photowayne.com/?p=62
