Making a Case for Books
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- This is the fully animated story of making four bookcases. The four cases are made from two pieces of walnut veneer plywood with almost no waste. The base for the cases is made from solid walnut with mitered corners The bookcases are 33 inches tall and 47 inches wide. The finish is wipe on polyurethane. They fit under and within the spacing of the windows in the living room.
I shot approximately 11,700 frames for this animation and used roughly 6,400 of them. I worked on this project intermittently from the 5th of January to 1st of March, 2014.
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 don't understand how someone couldn't like this. It's fantastic!
People are strange
I got a headache by just imagining the time you spent making this brilliant video
haha
You are awesome! :D Loved it! also love all of your video! :D
No, really, how long did you spend on this????
No matter how much I watch your videos, I find that I still haven't seen them all. Thanks for sharing your brilliant hobbies with us.
This is not only great woodworking but awesome film making. You need to enter this in some contests!
Not only a beautiful stop motion, but a beautiful set of book cases and a beautiful book being beautifully ready to your children. Awesome video. Thanks a million, Frank!
Oh my god! Love the walnut herd!
Jaw-dropping video Frank!
I love your stop motion work, but this one is by far the best one that I've seen. Its not often that you have an opportunity to chuckle at a character in a woodworking videos, especially when the characters are clamps and bookcase base pieces. And the ending was perfect. Thank you for sharing your creative gift with us.
Amazing !
My favorite part of this video, is you reading the Chronicles of Narnia to your kids. Great wood working as always, but starting your kids off with Narnia will make them into amazing adults.
Dude your editing skills are awesome, I love watching your videos, they are so unique, thanks for taking the time to do them, subscribed!
+Rubber Duc Thanks
I can never tell which you like more, making the project, or the video. Both were amazing as usual. Thanks.
This is definitely my favorite Frank Howarth video...possibly my favorite woodworking video ever!
How can there be 51 dislikes, this is one of the greatest videos of 2014, and one of the all time great woodworking videos!
I agree. A lot of jealous folk I guess.
Theres always some asshole. Society is full of them
Those stop motion videos are beyond excellent. Never seen anything like this. Great craftsmanship, coupled with beautifull takes, scene by scene.
Thanks
***** You're probably correct. We have traditional wood working combined with traditional special effects. Thats why it is so good :D
What sorcery is this! This is amazing! Building the bookshelves were hard enough, but to do the entire thing using stop motion, and add cool synchronization! Epic! Well done sir! Liked, subscribed and shared!
Thanks!
Thanks you Frank. I've watched this video over and over with my kids!
This is truly a masterly piece of art - both of construction and cinematography! Thanks for caring enough to do things right.
Thank goodness for folks like Frank. My 4 year old son loves these videos, and I have had a few binge watching sessions myself.
This is brilliant. i've watched many woodworkers on youtube, but you're the only one i subscribe to. This reminds me of the educational tv-shows I saw as a kid, where learning was seen as entertainment in and of itself. It's insane to me that we make such a partition between education and pleasure in western societies. I adore the animal qualities you find in all your clamps and machines. I'm also impressed how you manage to juggle making stop motion film while doing big complicated glue-ups and projects such as these. Hats off!
+Arash Arfazadeh Thanks!
I agree
+Arash Arfazadeh Well said!
This is absolutely incredible. The craftsmanship from the woodworking shown off by the whimsy of stop-motion.
Wow.. that was amazing. In woodworking and animation. In the end reading for the kids was really kind Thank you very much for sharing
This might be the best thing I've ever seen on RUclips. Mr. Howarth, you are the Wes Andersen of woodworking, and I love you for it.
This deserves a Best of RUclips nomination. Well done Frank.
Hello Frank, thanks for the time you spend making videos so we can enjoy.Keep spending time with your kids they will always remember it.
This is big time awesome. Just like watching a Disney production.
Frank, you are cool man!!!
Frank, as a former woodworker/furniture maker now teacher and forever a lover of books and films, this video was a real treat and a real blessing to me! Thanks for sharing, thanks for being an excellent woodworker and visual storyteller. This was awesome!
Great story Frank.
Hi Kids
You have one very clever Dad, he has some amazing skills.
Thank him for sharing with us all.
Look after him
Cheeers from thr UK

Frank,
I hope you get to see this. You have some amazing skills, story telling, animation, story telling, wood working, and did I mention story telling. Watching your video was a very funny and pleasent ending to a rather rough day. Thanks for reminding this old soldier to relax, smile and remember why we do what we do.
Just one word for this video: BRILLIANT!!!!
Patience and dedication my generation is lacking and envious of. Great video.
Frank, have you ever thought about doing a video on some of your editing and animation tips/techniques. They're amazing, i've no idea how you do it!
Yes, I'd love to see your process!
me too
thank you frank, i watch these videos every morning with my daughter and they have inspired me to finish some woodworking projects around the house as well.
masterpiece again, should go viral
This may be the best woodworking video in existence.
That's one of the best editings I've ever seen on youtube. For sure you sir, are one of the best and deserve an attention. Have a good day and keep on doing it cause you're doing enormously well!
this is the pinnacle of cinematography in woodworking!
All hail to Frank!
It inspires me more to get myself a Canon 5DMark3 and 18-35mm, 105mm lens!
i think that's your best animated movie ever. Really good ideas behind animation and sound editing. Really good job! And nice furniture too!
This is the most delightful woodworking video on youtube.
This brings a smile to my face! Thanks Frank :-)
The cases are awesome and I didn't get where you were going with your proportions until you dropped that center support! I will be borrowing this heavily someday ;-)
I had been thinking of attaching steel bar to the back and front of the middle shelf for support. in the end I went with a center support in a dado in the underside of the shelf. it's not attached and if I want to adjust the shelf I can make a new support piece.
Yeah I really liked this.
frank howarth
I doubt you will ever need it since you have the upper area for really long items. It's really well done, again, thanks for taking the time to share that with us!
Only thing that amazes me more that your woodworking skills is your video production. Don't get me started about your shop !
This is absolutely amazing. So so cool.
Absolutely one of the greatest woodworking videos ever. Fantastic!!
I love your work Frank. I know how long it takes to make one of my videos, which are crummy compared to yours. I can't imagine the amount of time it takes to make a video as wonderful as the stop motions you make. You are an artist in both mediums, Woodworking and Videography. Thank you for educating and entertaining.
Regards,
Bob
Totally agree!!! Genius work!
This blew me away when I saw it.
My gosh! The SKILL and time and creativity and time and creativity this takes!!!! Congratulations!
woot! wish i had a second upvote for narnia
Frank, you're the man. You give me hope for humanity.
Beautiful video! Must take ages to make but it is worth it.
Woodwork, animation, and "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe?" Three of my favourite things! I am loving your videos!
That was fantastic! I wouldn't usually criticize you on anything to do with your shop or home but I think it may be time to lube those books!
I sure hope you enjoy making these videos as much as I enjoy watching them. Thank you so much!!
What in the world was that?
Why would someone go to allll of that trouble for that video?
It was an absolute masterpiece, even without the terrifically designed and built book cases.
Is this one of those cases where "he has the skill, mindset and ability, so he made something great"? Because if it is, he needs to teach those kids how to be like him, then he needs to teach the rest of us!
As beautiful as the finished bookcases are, they take backseat to the incredible filmography of the process.
Always enjoy your videos Frank, my hat is off to you.
I saw some Dr. Seuss in there. Fun fact, I collect Seuss books and actually have one of his personal paintings tattooed on my arm. Anyways, another amazing video!!!
I nominate this video as woodworking video of the year! Love it!
Drunken Woodworker
yeah, I agree!!!!
And today is Dr. Seuss' birthday!
The stars have aligned!
What poetry, what inventiveness, what humour, what detail!... Everything about this is delightful, Frank! Thank you for this work of art!
*THIS VIDEO MADE MY DAY!* XDD I don't share much, but *this must be shared.*
Love the double meaning of the title. Love the analogies, unbelievably funny & instructive. Rated: _"Genius LOL"_
Frank thanks for making the stop motion videos. My 4 year old daughter loves them and is helping me bond with her as we watch together. Thanks again.
man frank these videos are great !
thankyou!
I don't know what I like best. Your story telling, your crafting skills, your beautiful book cases, your filming skills, your creativity. This is so awesome, thanks for sharing!
This is so good!
Absolutely could be the best woodworking video I’ve ever seen! ...Great change of pace. Thanks
You just get better and better.
I think you anyone will love woodworking after watching your videos. Magnificent work.
"Throw out fifty things. Clear the clutter. Find your life" Ha ha love it! Who needs to throw anything out?? Just make more shelves! :-)
This is possibly my favorite of Frank's videos. It's brilliant, informative and lots of fun. Thank you.
This video is friggin beautiful!
I just found this seven years after the fact. Unlike so many things on RUclips, this has aged very well. Nice video, most excellent editing and story telling.....and (IMHO) an excellent choice to read to the kids at the end.
Like magic frank!
I'm a book lover and enjoy making woodwork projects myself. It's a pleasure to watch you put a lot of care in making these bookcases. The narrative of the books and animation are so cool.
Please keep posting.
My Goodness, Frank! Tour de force! You are now Pixar!
You're a woodworking god! I'm glad we have the technology for you to share your talents with the rest of us.
After watching this many times, I finally paid attention to what you were reading. Is that "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"?
Yes.
:0
as someone who enjoys woodworking and videography/editing, and a lover of stop motion animation, i can wholeheartedly say this is a *truly* amazing piece of art.
Superb video in every way!
+Wood Review TV Thanks
I think it should get an award. Unbelievable quality and amount of work.
How long did it take you to make the video?
This might be the best wood working video I've ever seen.
Frank you really should be sending these videos to a TV company, that was superb, I laughed out loud at the herd of leg components. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Your pursuit to entertain will never go unappreciated!
Frank the passion, and artistry that went into this video is unreal! Thanks for doing what you do!
Hey Dirk, just sent you a message to your youtube, please get back to me when you get a chance. Thanks!
Great video. Our grand kids, 3 & 5, just love them. My grand daughter now has all my power tools memorized by heart and can't wait to use them some day.
This is a classic. I watch it again and again. Thanks Frank.
Yeah, the woodwork is great but the filming is even more than that. It´s so impressive!
Masterpiece, both in design and how you make your videos! Frank, you are a rolemodel for woodworking!
This is simply an amazing combination of woodworking and animation.
Genius, absolute genius. I look forward to seeing your films and am disappointed when there isn't one for a while. Please keep it up Frank and 'THANKS FOR WATCHIN'
Love these stop motion woodworking videos and as far as I'm concerned, all the other woodworking guys that try stop motion are imitators of your work. I know how much work is involved in these and I appreciate your efforts very much Frank. Great stuff.
I am floored by the amount of work the video must have taken let alone the awesome bookcases
Brilliant work Frank. Reminds me of eastern European animation from the 70's. Beautiful bookcases too. An around joy. Thank you
Not a typical how-to-make-a-bookshelf video. Creepy at the first 2 secs but hey, I wanna see more already. I like the tools that moves like leech and the sound it makes when it moves. Watched it twice. Just wow
Thank you for spending the time and effort to make the best woodworking video I've ever seen.
Seus videos são presentes para todos nós. Obrigado Frank!
His videos are gifts to us all. Thank you Frank!
Genius. This could win an animated short award. If it hasnt already.....
Mr Howarth, I have to say, this is my favorite video of your extensive collection. Not sure if its just me or what, but it seems as though you captured attitude and emotion into the videos participants. I love it. Absolutely awesome as usual. Amazing skill and vision. Thank you for allowing us unskilled at woodworking folk to live vicariously through you.
Honestly, the ending seals the deal. Keep up the great work, Frank.
Awesome! This deserves an Oscar for Best Documentary!
Frank, this is awesome! I have been a woodworker for 45 years, this is a great teaching tool. I recently made a video of "The Making Of" a crib that I designed and built for my daughter-in-law but I never thought of doing stop motion.
This is by far the most awesome woodworking video
The amount of work to create this masterpiece ... I just ... cannot. I have no evens left.
this is a mix of pure art, combined with a ton of talent and incredible hard work! I'm simply amazed! thank you for sharing this!
Ah, I find myself unable to stop watching. Incredibly neat and entertaining. Huge thumbs up to the creator and to their great patients in filming a video such as this.
Thank you Frank. Excellent. You're a gifted man.
Wood work and stop animation are both very time consuming projects, that fact that you do both for a video is amazing
