Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves ruclips.net/user/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.
I can’t imagine that anyone will ever pay enough for your craftsmanship especially on a spices like pine. One will think it’s a build for a family or yourself. If I was to do this bookshelf the manhours will be insane and never be able to break even . Thank goodness for machinery like jointer, planer and router. Great job Rob!
For some, it's just about the enjoyment of building, it's not always a monetary issue. No noise, dust, risk of losing fingers or a large shop to house all the machinery. I went total hand tool 5 years ago, best thing I ever did for my enjoyment.
Amen to Greg’s comment!
@@grotto46 Yep, I'm really looking forward to building out my shop with nothing but hand tools. Sharpening my saws, dimensioning by hand, taking my time... it's not gonna be a money-maker, but my goodness it'll make my heart happy.
Nice to see you using wooden planes for a change.
Thanks for the videos. Your teaching style is perfect.
Thank you for watching and commenting
Really lovely! I tend to fall into the trap of not working with softwoods as if they're not "real" woods, but I need to break that mindset and utilize some lovely pine!
I prefer Northern white pine, but any superior grade of pine works well
It's a shame when you see well built furniture thrown to the side of the road in exchange for cheap crap that won't even survive a move. I guess some people really don't know enough and get suckered in by a nice looking piece of veneered particle board... Love your designs Rob. Some of your pieces are still aesthetically pleasing even after quite some years and the introduction of "modern" styles
People no longer know, recognize, or understand well made furniture. Its a shame
Beautiful work!
Thanks
Always a pleasure. Thanks for the look!
You bet
absolutely beautiful.
Thanks
So good to hear you say you like Pine. Whenever I make something out of Pine I often get the comment "O it is only Pine". I am in ore of your work and hope one day to make something half as good.
Beautiful wood! Not a fan of ponderosa, southern yellow or red pine. Northern white is king!
I hope that one day you make a video detailing how you build your joinery and molding planes.
I purchased the moulding beading plane but Doing a video on my drawer bottom plane is a good idea
This is a great suggestion Rob. I’d love to see your take on making a moulding plane.
Beautiful project too learn from!!!
Thanks for sharing an interesting piece of functional furniture. Take care.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Amazing. I’m learning I’ve got most of the hand tools I need and it’s just therapeutic kinda for me even if all I’m doing is just planing
I love the sound of a plane
Hello Rob and team, if this bookcase were planned to be hung on a wall… how would the design, construction, and assembly of this bookcase change? Thanks.
Pura vida Rob .in my case I appreciate this kind of video-tutorial .Rob maybe you van add a video with more details about dovetail process pura vida
Great piece. Now that I’ve really improved my dovetails i am really wanting to try a smaller piece of furniture like this
Go for it
Great project Rob. Agree with you on how nice pine can be. Question: on the back boards, can you say more about putting on the edge bead and the tongue on the edge? It would seem that you have to put the tongue on first, but how do you get the edge bead plane to register off the tongue and place the bead on the visible edge?
It’s ship lap for the back, not tongue and groove.
Can you explain why the tails are on the horizontal pieces rather than the vertical ones? To prevent racking?
Yes, I had the same Q.
Thanks for sharing this piece with us! I’d love to see more videos like this that feature and explain the construction of pieces you’ve made over the years. Cheers
We have a whole playlist of these type of videos. Check it out
Waiting on a veritas plow plane that I already bought tongue cutters for so I can make a back like that one!
There you go
Looks really nice. I think part of what makes it so attractive is the lumber selection and placement, which I did not hear covered. The top and sides seem to be knot free with the sap wood at the back on all pieces, almost a continuous grain effect. The back boards have just the right amount and type of knots and also look very appealing.
Great point, I should have talked about ghat
"No dust, no danger, no noise." That's why I use hand planes. I would add "no sanding requried".
Precisely
Hey Rob, love your work! What is your connection with the James E Keyes, my dad served on that ship in 1963!
A vet gave me that patch, he served on it
LIKE FROM BRAZIL
Thanks from Canada
Rob, you're showing us how to make real furniture. You could house that in a Ukrainian village and know it'll be OK and yet it looks light, balanced and aesthetically pleasing.
I would I get it to the Ukraine?
very nice! What finish did you use?
Sprayed lacquer
Hey Rob.
question about wood expansion.
i always thought that boards move seasonally along the length of the grain, but not the width of the grain. (u mentioned when speaking on shiplap) anyways, if true, is expansion along the length of grain much more significant than width of grain?
Thanks! (see you tomorrow)
Wood movement is perpendicular to the grain. Although there will be minimal movement along the length...usually not enough to worry about. It's across the width of a board that will see the greatest effect of humidity changes.
^ what he said.
What "she" said
@@Andrea-bw8xm thanks for clearing that up for me!
"No dust, no danger..." WTF fun is that? I live for danger and outwitting power tools...
What's a "smoother"? Is that a Canadian thing? Like a card scraper down south?
I believe it’s a smoothing plane like a No. 4. But he typically uses his 5 1/2 for both flattening and smoothing. Either way, it’s the last plane you use to put a finished surface on the wood instead of sanding it.
At least, that’s what I think it is…
Be strong and courageous!
A number 3 through 4-1/2 bench plane
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍
WOW ,,,, Long paints ......
I have to be different every now and then
That’s a nice design. I do something similar. Thank you for not using a face frame. Face frames on bookcases are the province of the illiterate.
Thats funny. Like you I do not like face frames
