Woodworking

If you go to The Sagulator (a site for calculating the strength of a particular board of wood), after you enter your data and get a response, it informs you:

4. A fully loaded bookshelf weighs 20-40 pounds (9-18 kg) per running foot, or 60-120 pounds (27-54 kg) for a 3′ wide shelf.  A value of 35 pounds per running foot is used by some for library shelving. Fine Woodworking magazines can weigh up to 40 pounds per foot.

because what else would you put on a shelf?
