Building an industrial pipe bookshelf

My advice on putting up an industrial pipe shelving kit

I’m not a professional or anything, so don’t take anything here too seriously. I just tried to write accurately what worked for me.

Note that it’s technically possible to drill a hole in a live electric wire, which is dangerous, or a water pipe, which is messy. Be careful – if you’re going into a stud there isn’t much to worry about, but notice if something seems harder than it should (nice to check with an awl, but I haven’t done that) and quickly give up. Practically speaking, it’s not likely that you’ll hit something – a pipe and a stud can’t exist in the same space. If you’re using drywall anchors, don’t drill past the drywall.
