I always drill a pilot hole before installing a screw. It creates the exact point for the screw to go into (a screw can wonder off on its own at first entry without a pilot hole), helps prevent splitting and makes the screw drive in easier (especially longer screws).
I'm not sure if this is the type of thing that you are looking for but this guy took a standard bookcase and transformed the shelving into that studio boxy type of thing.http://www.instructables.com/id/A-NewFangled-Bookcase..../

I need to make shelves w/ 1/2" sandeply or birch ( thinner preferred due to being in kids room). I want to make this in a geometric pattern if i can to create more cubbies rather than boring shelves. You have no idea how long ive searched for building ideas for this. All i find are pics never the instructions. Any advice or standard on how to start whether with verticals or horizontals, with nails or screws. Im actually afraid of nails as they seem to take alot of muscle. But screws can split right? I would construct a base frame then want to add verticals here and there but they would stay put how? Build from the bottom up?
